We then used simple thought exercises based on flipping coins to build intuition around false positives and related concepts such as statistical significance, p-values, and confidence intervals. As a result, if the test treatment results in a small reduction in the latency metric, it’s hard to successfully identify?

These are advanced cloud configurations that allow you to protect your databases from the internet. At ScaleGrid we recommend you deploy your clusters on private VPC subnets so that your database is not routable from the internet. Deploying your application and database on the same VPC also provides the lowest possible latency path.

Werner Vogels weblog on building scalable and robust distributed systems. For example, the most fundamental abstraction trade-off has always been latency versus throughput. The throughput of this pipeline is more important than the latency of the individual operations. All Things Distributed. Comments ().
