Replay Traffic Testing Replay traffic refers to production traffic that is cloned and forked over to a different path in the service call graph, allowing us to exercise new/updated systems in a manner that simulates actual production conditions. This approach has a handful of benefits.

percent availability in the event of a server, a rack of servers, or an Availability Zone failure. DynamoDB automatically re-distributes your data to healthy servers to ensure there are always multiple replicas of your data without you needing to intervene. Auto Scaling is on by default for all new tables and indexes.

sounds like a homework exercise of purely academic value. Networks, PCIe busses, CPU interconnects, memory busses, and storage devices (both throughput and IOPS), all have fixed limits. Once, during a proof of concept, a client reported that latency was unacceptably high for the benchmark: over one second for each request!

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?
