This architecture shift greatly reduced the processing latency and increased system resiliency. We expanded pipeline support to serve our studio/content-development use cases, which had different latency and resiliency requirements as compared to the traditional streaming use case. divide the input video into small chunks 2.

VMware commercialized the idea of virtual machines, and cloud providers embraced the same concept with services like Amazon EC2, Google Compute, and Azure virtual machines. Serverless computing is a cloud-based, on-demand execution model where customers consume resources solely based on their application usage.

AWS is the #1 cloud provider for open-source database hosting, and the go-to cloud for MySQL deployments. As organizations continue to migrate to the cloud, it’s important to get in front of performance issues, such as high latency, low throughput, and replication lag with higher distances between your users and cloud infrastructure.

SLOs can be a great way for DevOps and infrastructure teams to use data and performance expectations to make decisions, such as whether to release, and where engineers should focus their time. You can set SLOs based on individual indicators, such as batch throughput, request latency, and failures-per-second. Help with decision making.
