Quite often "The Cloud" is portrayed as something magically transparent that lives somewhere in the internet. There are four main reasons to do so: Performance - For many applications and services, data access latency to end users is important. The new Singapore Region offers customers in APAC lower-latency access to AWS services.

Fundamentally, internet traffic can be broadly categorized into static and dynamic content. Yes, it’s a single file, but that’s not how it’s stored on the internet. This type of traffic originates directly from the server, making it more challenging to handle due to latency and server load considerations; it’s hard but not impossible.

The 85% global-share OS (Android) has historically facilitated browser choice and diversity in browser engines. Engine diversity is essential, as it is the mechanism that causes competition to deliver better performance, capability, privacy, security, and user controls. If so, it's a browser regardless of the underlying engine.

Based on this experience and learning, we built DynamoDB to be a fast, highly scalable NoSQL database to meet the needs of Internet-scale applications. DynamoDB was the first service at AWS to use SSD storage. These high-throughput, low-latency requirements need caching, not as a consideration, but as a best practice.

Three years ago, as part of our AWS Fast Data journey we introduced Amazon ElastiCache for Redis , a fully managed in-memory data store that operates at sub-millisecond latency. This allows for faster failover times while minimizing latency. Amazon’s enhancements address many day-to-day challenges with running Redis.

For example, the most fundamental abstraction trade-off has always been latency versus throughput. Modern CPUs strongly favor lower latency of operations with clock cycles in the nanoseconds and we have built general purpose software architectures that can exploit these low latencies very well. Where to go from here?
