This work is latency critical, because volume IO is blocked until it is complete. Cells are spread across a mesh of nodes (each node running on a single server). Larger cells have better tolerance of tail latency (e.g. Thus the configuration master is under stress just when you need it the most. Cells have seven nodes.

These nodes and edges require a good amount of compute and storage which is typically distributed across a large number servers either running in the cloud or your own data center. A data pipeline is a software which runs on hardware. The software is error-prone and hardware failures are inevitable.

This limitation is at the database level rather than the hardware level, nevertheless with up to date hardware (from mid-2018) PostgreSQL on a 2 socket system can be expected to deliver more than 2M PostgreSQL TPM and 1M NOPM with the HammerDB TPC-C test. .

First of all it has always been clear in the HammerDB documentation that the TPROC-C/TPC-C and TPROC-H/TPC-H workloads have not been ‘real’ audited and published TPC results instead providing a tool to run workloads based on these specifications. This was both expensive and time consuming to configure.

This isn’t true (more on that in a follow-up post), and sites which are built this way implicitly require more script in each document (e.g., Late-loading JavaScript can cause “server-side rendered” pages to fail in infuriating ways.

This metric shows how much time it takes for the server to respond with something. This metric is important, but quite vague because it can include anything — starting from server rendering time and ending up with latency problems.

Lift & Shift is where you basically just move physical or virtual hosts to the cloud – essentially you just run your host on somebody else’s hardware. Remember: This is a critical aspect as you do not want to migrate a service and suddenly introduce high latency or costs to a system that you forgot about having a dependency with!

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).
