Cloudburst: stateful functions-as-a-service

The Morning Paper

The key ingredients of Cloudburst are a highly-scalable key-value store for persistent state ( Anna ), local caches co-located with function execution environments, and cache-consistency protocols to preserve developer sanity while data is moved in and out of those caches. High level architecture. Evaluation.

Lerner?—?using RL agents for test case scheduling

The Netflix TechBlog

Solution We built a system called Lerner that consists of a set of microservices and a python library that allows scalable agent training and inference for test case scheduling. We wanted the to tool be available as a standalone library as well as scalable API service. which allows fast deployment times and rapid scalability.

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! ;).

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. Scalability. The design space.
