Expanding the Cloud - Cluster Compute Instances for Amazon EC2.

All Things Distributed

Werner Vogels weblog on building scalable and robust distributed systems. In particular this has been true for applications based on algorithms - often MPI-based - that depend on frequent low-latency communication and/or require significant cross sectional bandwidth. All Things Distributed. By Werner Vogels on 12 July 2010 05:00 PM.

Välkommen till Stockholm – An AWS Region is coming to the Nordics

All Things Distributed

After the launch of the AWS EU (Stockholm) Region, there will be 13 Availability Zones in Europe for customers to build flexible, scalable, secure, and highly available applications. This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience.

Embrace event-driven computing: Amazon expands DynamoDB with streams, cross-region replication, and database triggers

All Things Distributed

In traditional database architectures, database engines often run a small search engine or data warehouse engines on the same hardware as the database. A more scalable option is to decouple these systems and build a pipe that connects these engines and feeds all change records from the source database to the data warehouse (e.g.,

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. Designed for the modern web, it responds to actual congestion, rather than packet loss like TCP does, it is significantly faster , with higher throughput and lower latency — and the algorithm works differently.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. On the other hand, we have hardware constraints on memory and CPU due to JavaScript parsing times (we’ll talk about them in detail later). A good starting point is to choose a good default stack for your application.
