This type of traffic originates directly from the server, making it more challenging to handle due to latency and server load considerations; it’s hard but not impossible. This is mainly because video files are notably bulkier than a simple text-based API request, which, in comparison, would be more like a droplet than an entire river.

Technically, “performance” metrics are those relating to the responsiveness or latency of the app, including start up time. Every test runs on a combination of devices (physical and virtual) and platform versions ( SDKs ). and often before they are even committed to the codebase. What do we mean by Performance?

This is a complex topic, but to borrow from a recent post , web performance expands access to information and services by reducing latency and variance across interactions in a session, with a particular focus on the tail of the distribution (P75+). Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.

Therefore any programming abstraction must be low latency and the kernel needs to be kept off the path of persistent data access as much as possible. Traditional pointers address a memory location (often virtual of course). This means that the overheads of system calls become much more noticeable.

Likewise, object access paths must be heavily multi-threaded and avoid lock contention to minimize access latency and maximize throughput. These are areas in which we have invested heavily to take advantage of 10 Gbps (and faster) networks and to handle intermittent network delays inherent in virtual server infrastructures.
