In the past analytics within an organization was the pinnacle of old style IT: a centralized data warehouse running on specialized hardware. Industrial machinery is instrumented and Internet connected to stream data into the cloud to gain usage insights, improve efficiencies and prevent outages. Cloud enables self-service analytics.

Just like shipping containers revolutionized the transportation industry, Docker containers disrupted software. These mechanisms are often compared to a conductor directing an orchestra to perform elaborate symphonies and juicy operas for our enjoyment. Here are some of the tasks orchestration platforms are challenged to perform.

Bandwidth, performance analysis has two recurring themes: How fast should this code (or “simple” variations on this code) run on this hardware? If I am analyzing (apparent) performance shortfalls, how can I distinguish between cause and effect ? The MPI runtime library. in ways that are seldom transparent.

I’m jumping ahead a bit here, but the component of Snap which provides the transport and communications stack is called Pony Express. Here are the bombshell paragraphs: Our datacenter applications seek ever more CPU-efficient and lower-latency communication, which Pony Express delivers. Performance numbers. Enter Google!

The focus of optimization hence will completely shift to efficiently handling RPCs at the endpoints as soon as they are delivered from the network. When it’s no longer physically possible to go meaningfully faster, further application-level performance gains will have to come from eliminating RPCs altogether.
