Percentiles don’t work: Analyzing the distribution of response times for web services

Adrian Cockcroft

The mean and percentile measurements hide this structure, but the rest of this post will show how the structure can be measured and analyzed so that you can figure out a useful model of your system, understand what is driving the long tail of latencies and come up with better SLAs and measures of capacity.

Choosing a cloud DBMS: architectures and tradeoffs

The Morning Paper

Which I’m quite happy to see as my most recent data pipeline is based around Lambda, S3, and Athena, and it’s been working great for my use case. For those systems where you provide your own compute instances, the default configuration tested used a 4-node r4.8xlarge cluster with 10Gb/s networking. The design space. Key findings.

In-Stream Big Data Processing

Highly Scalable

This article is an effort to explore techniques used by developers of in-stream data processing systems, trace the connections of these techniques to massive batch processing and OLTP/OLAP databases, and discuss how one unified query engine can support in-stream, batch, and OLAP processing at the same time.

Cloudburst: stateful functions-as-a-service

The Morning Paper

On the Cloudburst design teams’ wish list: A running function’s ‘hot’ data should be kept physically nearby for low-latency access. Only now the database is itself a distributed KVS, and the slices of application functionality are much finer-grained. Updates should be allowed at any function invocation site.

Fast key-value stores: an idea whose time has come and gone

The Morning Paper

Coupled with stateless application servers to execute business logic and a database-like system to provide persistent storage, they form a core component of popular data center service archictectures. The network latency of fetching data over the network, even considering fast data center networks. Who knew! ;).
