Comparing Approaches to Durability in Low Latency Messaging Queues

DZone

I have generally held the view that replicating data to a secondary system is faster than sync-ing to disk, assuming the round trip network delay wasn’t high due to quality networks and co-located redundant servers. Little’s Law and Why Latency Matters. However, latency is often a key factor in why the throughput isn’t high enough.

Optimising for High Latency Environments

CSS Wizardry

This gives fascinating insights into the network topography of our visitors, and how much we might be impacted by high latency regions. Round-trip-time (RTT) is basically a measure of latency—how long did it take to get from one endpoint to another and back again? What is RTT? RTT isn’t a you-thing, it’s a them-thing.

Build systems more reliably with Dynatrace: Chaos Engineering

Dynatrace

These releases often assumed ideal conditions such as zero latency, infinite bandwidth, and no network loss, as highlighted in Peter Deutsch’s eight fallacies of distributed systems. With Dynatrace, teams can seamlessly monitor the entire system, including network switches, database storage, and third-party dependencies.
