The first—and often most surprising for people to learn—thing that I want to draw your attention to is that TTFB counts one whole round trip of latency. The reason is because mobile networks are, as a rule, high latency connections. For example, request collapsing , edge-side includes , etc.). But what else is TTFB?

A quick canary test was free of errors and showed lower latency, which is expected given that our standard canary setup routes an equal amount of traffic to both the baseline running on 4xl and the canary on 12xl. What’s worse, average latency degraded by more than 50%, with both CPU and latency patterns becoming more “choppy.”
