For example, a member-triggered event such as “ change in a profile’s maturity level” should have a much higher priority than a “ system diagnostic signal”. We thus assigned a priority to each use case and sharded event traffic by routing to priority-specific queues and the corresponding event processing clusters.

For example, the data is pretty slow to update, refreshing every 28 days, meaning it is not the same as real-time monitoring. For example, we could add throttling to the test environment to enforce an artificial condition where the test opens the page on a slower connection. But it comes with caveats.

DNS, which stands for domain name system , is an Internet service that translates domains names into IP addresses. For example, when you visit KeyCDN.com it must look up the corresponding IP address to that hostname behind the scenes. You can think of a DNS server as a phone book for the internet. What is DNS?

You’ve probably heard things like: “HTTP/3 is much faster than HTTP/2 when there is packet loss”, or “HTTP/3 connections have less latency and take less time to set up”, and probably “HTTP/3 can send data more quickly and can send more resources in parallel”. For example, TCP requires a “ handshake ” to set up a new connection.
