Dynatrace supports SnapStart for Lambda as an AWS launch partner

Dynatrace

The new Amazon capability enables customers to improve the startup latency of their functions from several seconds to as low as sub-second (up to 10 times faster) at P99 (the 99th latency percentile). This can cause latency outliers and may lead to a poor end-user experience for latency-sensitive applications.

Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) vs. Dedicated Hosting at ScaleGrid

Scalegrid

This is because they are able to leverage free AWS or Azure startup hosting credits secured through their incubator, accelerator, or startup community program, and can apply their free credits to their database hosting costs as ScaleGrid. Deploying your application and database on the same VPC also provides the lowest possible latency path.

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! Ford, et al., “TCP

A thorough introduction to bpftrace

Brendan Gregg

For example, iostat(1), or a monitoring agent, may tell you your average disk latency, but not the distribution of this latency. For smaller environments, it can be of more use helping eliminate latency outliers. bpftrace uses BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter), an in-kernel execution engine that processes a virtual instruction set.

bpftrace (DTrace 2.0) for Linux 2018

Brendan Gregg

more capable, and built from the ground up for the modern era of the eBPF virtual machine. Screenshot: tracing read latency for PID 181: # bpftrace -e 'kprobe:vfs_read /pid == 30153/ { @start[tid] = nsecs; } kretprobe:vfs_read /@start[tid]/ { @ns = hist(nsecs - @start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]); }'. eBPF does more.
