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.

Werner Vogels weblog on building scalable and robust distributed systems. a Fast and Scalable NoSQL Database Service Designed for Internet Scale Applications. The original Dynamo design was based on a core set of strong distributed systems principles resulting in an ultra-scalable and highly reliable database system.

‍Just as a well-coordinated airport directs flights to multiple runways based on traffic and weather conditions, a CDN with Multiple Origins Load Balancing ensures that web traffic is distributed across various data centers, optimizing performance and reliability. ‍But how does it decide where to send this traffic?

As I have talked about before, one of the reasons why we built Amazon DynamoDB was that Amazon was pushing the limits of what was a leading commercial database at the time and we were unable to sustain the availability, scalability, and performance needs that our growing Amazon.com business demanded. The opposite is true.

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. Whether it is gaming, adtech, travel, or retail—speed wins, it's simple.

CrUX generates an overview of performance distributions over time, with traffic collected from Google Chrome users. But account for the different types and usage behaviors of your customers (which Tobias Baldauf called cadence and cohorts ), along with bot traffic and seasonality effects. You can create your own on Chrome UX Dashboard.
