High Scalability

AUGUST 8, 2018

Prior to launch, they load-tested their software stack to process up to 5x their most optimistic traffic estimates. The actual launch requests per second (RPS) rate was nearly 50x that estimate—enough to present a scaling challenge for nearly any software stack.

The measured traffic is not of your actual users; it is synthetically generated to collect data on page performance. Synthetic Monitoring. Synthetic monitoring vendors provide a remote (often global) infrastructure that visits a website periodically and records the performance data for each run. Real User Monitoring (RUM).

A rough guide if you don’t have any better data is that with no traffic to a system it will be 10% utilization and use 30% of peak power, 25% utilization uses 50% of peak power, and at 50% utilization it uses 75% of peak power. Load peaks can be caused by inefficient initialization code at startup, cron jobs, traffic spikes, or retry storms.

We suspect this points to a general drift toward software teams taking more responsibility for infrastructure, and increasingly, enabled by serverless options. This scaling takes away the worry from random and unexpected traffic spikes or big seasonal traffic. Industries of survey respondents. 1 reported benefit.

To manage the scalability of notifications the subscribers of the hardware primitives are compute nodes, and a software layer on each compute node demultiplexes incoming notifications. A key outcome of this design is that only exception events cause data transfers to the consumer, reducing far memory traffic. A worked example.
