“How fast is a website?” While it’s a simple question on the surface, it can be challenging to answer. In the past, the answer would be based on the load time of a page, but over the years, we have evolved our approach to site speed to incorporate new metrics, alone or in combination with existing metrics. To build fast sites and stay competitive, it is critical for people passionate about performance to stay informed about new metrics and the methodology behind them.

By Benoit Rostykus, Gabriel Hartmann Noisy Neighbors We’ve all had noisy neighbors at one point in our life. Whether it’s at a cafe or through a wall of an apartment, it is always disruptive. The need for good manners in shared spaces turns out to be important not just for people, but for your Docker containers too. When you’re running in the cloud your containers are in a shared space; in particular they share the CPU’s memory hierarchy of the host instance.

NVMe Storage Use Cases. NVMe storage's strong performance, combined with the capacity and data availability benefits of shared NVMe storage over local SSD, makes it a strong solution for AI/ML infrastructures of any size. There are several AI/ML focused use cases to highlight. Financial Analytics – Financial services and financial technology (FinTech) are increasingly turning to automation and artificial intelligence to fuel their decision making processes for investments.

While solving issues related to NFRs (especially application performance), I always think about why we as developers give less importance (honorable exceptions are always there) to performance. Is this due to a lack of awareness? Many times, we start thinking of performance only at the time of a performance test or after deployment.

Data validation for machine learning Breck et al., SysML’19. Last time out we looked at continuous integration testing of machine learning models , but arguably even more important than the model is the data. Garbage in, garbage out. In this paper we focus on the problem of validation the input data fed to ML pipelines. The importance of this problem is hard to overstate, especially for production pipelines.

With so many different metrics available to measure dozens of different aspects of a web page, it can be a struggle to know how best to quantify that page’s overall web performance. In this post, we discuss why there are so many metrics, explore what is “the best” metric, and discuss how you can use the Lighthouse Score to better your own performance.
