In a recent post about Chrome 60 Beta , Google announced the support of the Paint Timing API to get metrics on when your page starts rendering and when the user gets content that can be consumed (more info on the definition of the events below). Here I’m going to describe this new API a bit and show you how to use it. Image taken from the Chrome 60 blog post , which first appeared in “Web Performance: Leveraging the Metrics that Most Affect User Experience” at Google I/O 2017.

Today, I am very excited to announce our plans to open a new AWS Region in Hong Kong! The new region will give Hong Kong-based businesses, government organizations, non-profits, and global companies with customers in Hong Kong, the ability to leverage AWS technologies from data centers in Hong Kong. The new AWS Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) Region will have three Availability Zones and be ready for customers for use in 2018.

Anyone that operates a website or web application with a contact page knows how bad the SPAM problem on the internet is. Spammers, phishers, and other malicious people create bots that will crawl search engines for contact forms and send emails to the hosts, register accounts, or something else. There was a point in time that I was receiving more than ten emails a day from spammers that wanted to redesign my website.

I’ve talked briefly before about developers suffering from “it works on my machine” mentality. The result is bugs that don’t appear on a developer’s machine, but do appear for users. There is a worse class of bugs though that affects everyone at a company: “it works in my office when I’m trying it” How is this different? Things can get pretty complex in a live web application.

Being able to monitor and measure the performance of your pages is crucial. You know that already. You also know that the next step is to quickly find out what’s hurting your pages so you can stop the pain. You want to know: Which performance rules is my page breaking? How do I prioritize my optimization efforts? How can I communicate this quickly and clearly to my team?

Let’s face it - the ideal load test emulates real world traffic, yet most load testing software doesn't come close. A series of GET requests from an in-house server can't possibly replicate what actually happens when a website sees a sudden increase in users from all over the world.

Today, I'm excited to announce the general availability of Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) , a fully managed, highly available, in-memory cache that can speed up DynamoDB response times from milliseconds to microseconds, even at millions of requests per second. You can add DAX to your existing DynamoDB applications with just a few clicks in the AWS Management Console – no application rewrites required.

One of the big topics at the OpenStack conference was how to prepare and implement a successful transition to 5G. Unfortunately, this means that the age-old Telco bugbears will rear their ugly heads again, including latency. 5G, as a fundamental requirement, mandates a 1 millisecond latency from the datasource to its destination. Currently, most applications are hosted in a small number of data centers (1-5), each of which is in charge of a geographic region.

Let’s face it – the ideal load test emulates real world traffic, yet most load testing software doesn’t come close. A series of GET requests from an in-house server can’t possibly replicate what actually happens when a website sees a sudden increase in users from all over the world. Held back by budget and infrastructure restrictions, some organizations have been forced to settle for load tests that paint an incomplete picture.
