I’ll show you some MySQL settings to tune to get better performance, and cost savings, with AWS RDS. Recently I was engaged in a MySQL Performance Audit for a customer to help troubleshoot performance issues that led to downtime during periods of high traffic on their AWS RDS MySQL instances.

Now let’s look at how we designed the tracing infrastructure that powers Edgar. If we had an ID for each streaming session then distributed tracing could easily reconstruct session failure by providing service topology, retry and error tags, and latency measurements for all service calls.

In technical terms, network-level firewalls regulate access by blocking or permitting traffic based on predefined rules. ‍At its core, WAF operates by adhering to a rulebook—a comprehensive list of conditions that dictate how to handle incoming web traffic. You've put new rules in place.

We thus assigned a priority to each use case and sharded event traffic by routing to priority-specific queues and the corresponding event processing clusters. This separation allows us to tune system configuration and scaling policies independently for different event priorities and traffic patterns.

This architecture shift greatly reduced the processing latency and increased system resiliency. We expanded pipeline support to serve our studio/content-development use cases, which had different latency and resiliency requirements as compared to the traditional streaming use case. divide the input video into small chunks 2.

Today we have a wealth of tools, both OSS and commercial, all designed for cloud-native environments. To improve availability, we designed systems where components could fail separately and avoid single points of failure. Our internal IPC traffic is now a mix of plain REST, GraphQL , and gRPC.

Nonetheless, we found a number of limitations that could not satisfy our requirements e.g. stalling the processing of log events until a dump is complete, missing ability to trigger dumps on demand, or implementations that block write traffic by using table locks. Designed with High Availability in mind. Writing events to any output.

With these requirements in mind, and a willingness to question the status quo, a small group of distributed systems experts came together and designed a horizontally scalable distributed database that would scale out for both reads and writes to meet the long-term needs of our business. This was the genesis of the Amazon Dynamo database.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).
