Balancing Low Latency, High Availability, and Cloud Choice

VoltDB

Balancing Low Latency, High Availability and Cloud Choice Cloud hosting is no longer just an option — it’s now, in many cases, the default choice. As a result, IT teams picked hardware somewhat blindly but with a strong bias towards oversizing for the sake of expanding the budget, leading to systems running at 10-15% of maximum capacity.

The Speed of Time

Brendan Gregg

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. Was there some other program consuming CPU, like a misbehaving Ubuntu service that wasn't in CentOS? As a Xen guest, this profile was gathered using perf(1) and the kernel's software cpu-clock soft interrupts, not the hardware NMI.

Crucial Redis Monitoring Metrics You Must Watch

Scalegrid

Key Takeaways Critical performance indicators such as latency, CPU usage, memory utilization, hit rate, and number of connected clients/slaves/evictions must be monitored to maintain Redis’s high throughput and low latency capabilities. It can achieve impressive performance, handling up to 50 million operations per second.

The Speed of Time

Brendan Gregg

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. Was there some other program consuming CPU, like a misbehaving Ubuntu service that wasn't in CentOS? Measuring the speed of time Is there already a microbenchmark for os::javaTimeMillis()? But I'm not completely sure.

USENIX SREcon APAC 2022: Computing Performance: What's on the Horizon

Brendan Gregg

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. The call for participation ends on March 2nd 23:59 SGT!
