Comparing Approaches to Durability in Low Latency Messaging Queues

DZone

I have generally held the view that replicating data to a secondary system is faster than sync-ing to disk, assuming the round trip network delay wasn’t high due to quality networks and co-located redundant servers. This is the first time I have benchmarked it with a realistic example. Little’s Law and Why Latency Matters.

For your eyes only: improving Netflix video quality with neural networks

The Netflix TechBlog

For example, we invest in next-generation, royalty-free codecs and sophisticated video encoding optimizations. Recently, we added another powerful tool to our arsenal: neural networks for video downscaling. How can neural networks fit into Netflix video encoding? Video encoding using a conventional video codec, like AV1.

Bandwidth or Latency: When to Optimise for Which

CSS Wizardry

When it comes to network performance, there are two main limiting factors that will slow you down: bandwidth and latency. Latency is defined as…. how long it takes for a bit of data to travel across the network from one node or endpoint to another. and reduction in latency. and reduction in latency.

Best practices and key metrics for improving mobile app performance

Dynatrace

Mobile applications (apps) are an increasingly important channel for reaching customers, but the distributed nature of mobile app platforms and delivery networks can cause performance problems that leave users frustrated, or worse, turning to competitors. Load time and network latency metrics. Performance optimization.

Crucial Redis Monitoring Metrics You Must Watch

Scalegrid

Key Takeaways Critical performance indicators such as latency, CPU usage, memory utilization, hit rate, and number of connected clients/slaves/evictions must be monitored to maintain Redis’s high throughput and low latency capabilities. Similarly, an increased throughput signifies an intensive workload on a server and a larger latency.

High Scalability

When a user requests for feed then there will be two parallel threads involved in fetching the user feeds to optimize for latency. This will not only reduce the overall latency in displaying the user-feeds to users but will also prevent re-computation of user-feeds. Some of the keys of understanding the user network are listed below.

Site reliability done right: 5 SRE best practices that deliver on business objectives

Dynatrace

The growing amount of data processed at the network edge, where failures are more difficult to prevent, magnifies complexity. At the lowest level, SLIs provide a view of service availability, latency, performance, and capacity across systems. Visibility and automation are two of the most important SRE tools.
