A Dedicated Log Volume (DLV) is a specialized storage volume designed to house database transaction logs separately from the volume containing the database tables. DLVs are particularly advantageous for databases with large allocated storage, high I/O per second (IOPS) requirements, or latency-sensitive workloads.

Another problem is that a design control, intended to mitigate a failure mode, may not work as intended. Collecting some critical metrics at one second intervals, with a total observability latency of ten seconds or less matches the human attention span much better. Hence, one way to reduce risk is to make systems more observable.

This rework delays launch which, in turn, delays gathering data about the viability of a PWA strategy. It simulates a link with a 400ms RTT and 400-600Kbps of throughput (plus latency variability and simulated packet loss). Simulated packet loss and variable latency, however, can make benchmarking extremely difficult and slow.
