All of Netflix’s HDR video streaming is now dynamically optimized

The Netflix TechBlog

Bitrate versus quality comparison HDR-VMAF is designed to be format-agnostic — it measures the perceptual quality of HDR video signal regardless of its container format, for example, Dolby Vision or HDR10. The graphic below (Fig. 1) depicts the migration of traffic from fixed bitrates to DO encodes.

Optimized shot-based encodes for 4K: Now streaming!

The Netflix TechBlog

As the number of 4K titles in our catalog continues to grow and more devices support the premium features, we expect these video streams to have an increasing impact on our members and the network. The fixed-bitrate ladder starts at 560 kbps which may be too high for some cellular networks. shot-optimized encoding and 4K VMAF model ?—?and

Reducing Your Database Hosting Costs: DigitalOcean vs. AWS vs. Azure

Scalegrid

Since database hosting is more dependent on memory (RAM) than storage, we are going to compare various instance sizes ranging from just 1GB of RAM up to 64GB of RAM so you can see how costs vary across different application workloads. Here are the configurations for this comparison: Plan. EC2 instances. VM instances. DigitalOcean.

Choosing a cloud DBMS: architectures and tradeoffs

The Morning Paper

We group the DBMS design choices and tradeoffs into three broad categories, which result from the need for dealing with (A) external storage; (B) query executors that are spun on demand; and (C) DBMS-as-a-service offerings. Another interesting experiment here compared the effects on performance of different storage types. Key findings.

Seamless offloading of web app computations from mobile device to edge clouds via HTML5 Web Worker migration

The Morning Paper

To speed up migration and quickly restore wasm functions at the destination, the wasm instantiate function is intially called with a dummy linear memory, and then this is later replaced once the real memory has arrived over the network. For comparison, the server bar also shows performance when the full application runs on the server.
