The Morning Paper

APRIL 14, 2019

The paper sets out what we can do in software given today’s hardware, and along the way also highlights areas where cooperation from hardware will be needed in the future. The paper focuses on two key use cases: A confined component running in its own security domain, connected to the rest of the system by explicit (e.g. .

Load averages are an industry-critical metric – my company spends millions auto-scaling cloud instances based on them and other metrics – but on Linux there's some mystery around them. They can be also useful when a single value of demand is desired, such as for a cloud auto scaling rule. I've never seen an explanation.

A message-oriented implementation requires an efficient messaging backbone that facilitates the exchange of data in a reliable and secure way with the lowest latency possible. When we work on a single machine, the operating system takes care of managing the resources allocated to applications.

Failures are a given and everything will eventually fail over time: from routers to hard disks, from operating systems to memory units corrupting TCP packets, from transient errors to permanent failures. This is a given, whether you are using the highest quality hardware or lowest cost components. Primitives not frameworks.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. On the other hand, we have hardware constraints on memory and CPU due to JavaScript parsing times (we’ll talk about them in detail later). Parsing and executing times vary significantly depending on the hardware of a device.
