Failures are a given and everything will eventually fail over time: from routers to hard disks, from operating systems to memory units corrupting TCP packets, from transient errors to permanent failures. If customers have many tiny files, then storage and bandwidth don’t amount to much even if they are making millions of requests.

It efficiently manages read and write operations, optimizes data access, and minimizes contention, resulting in high throughput and low latency to ensure that applications perform at their best. Amazon Aurora is a relational, proprietary, closed-source database engine with all that that implies. RDS MySQL is 5.5,

In this blog post, we will discuss the best practices on the MongoDB ecosystem applied at the Operating System (OS) and MongoDB levels. Operating System (OS) settings Swappiness Swappiness is a Linux kernel setting that influences the behavior of the Virtual Memory manager when it needs to allocate a swap, ranging from 0-100.

I don’t need more bandwidth for video conferences or movies, but I would like to be able to download operating system updates and other large items in seconds rather than minutes. There are impressive estimates for latency for 5G, but reality has a tendency to be harsh on such predictions.

Collecting some critical metrics at one second intervals, with a total observability latency of ten seconds or less matches the human attention span much better. For systems that are latency sensitive, creating two independent ways to succeed is an important technique for greatly reducing the 99th percentile latency.

For Mac OS, we can use Network Link Conditioner , for Windows Windows Traffic Shaper , for Linux netem , and for FreeBSD dummynet. Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. Thus, it "hides" latency (both in the network and on the server) from clients.
