There was a time when standing up a website or application was simple and straightforward and not the complex networks they are today. For basic and simple websites, a developer was able to easily automate these checks and fix any problems before a user encountered them. The recipe was straightforward. Do you have a database?

JavaScript-Heavy # Since at least 2015, building JavaScript-first websites has been a predictably terrible idea, yet most of the sites I trace on a daily basis remain mired in script. [1] Limits help teams steer away from complexity and towards tools that generate simpler output that's easier to manage and repair. In the U.S.,

This new Region has been highly requested by companies worldwide, and it provides low-latency access to AWS services for those who target customers in South America. The new Sao Paulo Region provides better latency to South America, which enables AWS customers to deliver higher performance services to their South American end-users.

DNS is one of the fundamental building blocks of internet applications and was high on the wish list of our customers for some time already. DNS is an absolutely critical piece of the internet infrastructure. This achieves very low-latency for queries which is crucial for the overall performance of internet applications.

There are different considerations when deciding where to allocate resources with latency and cost being the two obvious ones, but compliance sometimes plays an important role as well. The move to the cloud is projected by 2015 see a reduction of 30% in IT infrastructure costs, which amounts to $7.2 Cloud Readyâ??; More information.

Modern browsers like Chrome and Samsung Internet support a long list of features that make web apps more powerful and keep users safer. The confusion that reliably results is the consequence of an inversion of the power relationship between app and website. Both pass all eighteen feature tests in Thomas Steiner's excellent ???

Quite often "The Cloud" is portrayed as something magically transparent that lives somewhere in the internet. However, when speaking about cloud services in terms of Infrastructure-as-a-Service, it is very important to make the geographic locations of services more explicit.

So, if we created an overview of all the things we have to keep in mind when improving performance — from the very start of the project until the final release of the website — what would that look like? Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. Image source ).

Once the models are created, you can get predictions for your application by using the simple API, without having to implement custom prediction generation code or manage any infrastructure. Two areas where Lambda is driving a lot of innovation is Mobile and the Internet of Things (IoT). More details on the AWS Blog.

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?
