In that scenario, the system would need to deal with the data propagation latency directly, for example, by use of timeouts or client-originated update tracking mechanisms.

That’s a significant amount and certainly more than is necessary relative to the traffic on most clusters. More acutely, if a traffic spike occurs and Zuul instances scale up, it exponentially increases connections open to origins. There is effectively no churn of connections, even at peak traffic.

DLVs are particularly advantageous for databases with large allocated storage, high I/O per second (IOPS) requirements, or latency-sensitive workloads. For write-only traffic, the QPS counters match the performance of standard RDS instances for lower thread counts, though, for higher counters, there is a drastic improvement.

Using simple lookup indices in Cassandra gives us the ability to maintain acceptable read latencies while doing heavy writes.

So while scale out has seen the majority of attention in the cloud era, it’s good to remind ourselves periodically just what we really can do on a single box or even a single thread. When used in prevention mode (IPS), this all has to happen inline over incoming traffic to block any traffic with suspicious signatures.
