1:18pm a key observation was made that an API call to populate the homepage sidebar saw a huge jump in latency. " Five infrastructure engineers and 3 product engineers were involved in the incident. The process tracing exercise included: Examning IRC transcripts from multiple channels.

There are many possible failure modes, and each exercises a different aspect of resilience. Collecting some critical metrics at one second intervals, with a total observability latency of ten seconds or less matches the human attention span much better. A resilient system continues to operate successfully in the presence of failures.

Although the ideas of reactive and streaming are nowhere near new, and keeping in mind that mere novelty doesn’t imply greatness, it is safe to say they have proven themselves and matured enough to see many programming languages, platforms, and infrastructure products embrace them fully. HTTP, TCP, FTP, MQTT, JMS), databases (i.e.,

Redis's microsecond latency has made it a de facto choice for caching. Four 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 microsecond latency. TB of in-memory capacity in a single cluster.

Our straining database infrastructure on Oracle led us to evaluate if we could develop a purpose-built database that would support our business needs for the long term. Performant – DynamoDB consistently delivers single-digit millisecond latencies even as your traffic volume increases.

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?
