Traffic, Transportation and Tuning - Technology Performance Pulse

Building Netflix’s Distributed Tracing Infrastructure

The Netflix TechBlog

OCTOBER 19, 2020

This was the most important question we considered when building our infrastructure because data sampling policy dictates the amount of traces that are recorded, transported, and stored. Our engineering teams tuned their services for performance after factoring in increased resource utilization due to tracing.

Data Pipeline using Delta In the following sections, we are going to describe the Delta-Connector that connects to a datastore and publishes CDC events to the Transport Layer, which is a real-time data transportation infrastructure routing CDC events to Kafka topics. Please stay tuned.

MQTT is an OASIS standard messaging protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT) and was designed as a highly lightweight yet reliable publish/subscribe messaging transport that is ideal for connecting remote devices with a small code footprint and minimal network bandwidth.

Just like shipping containers revolutionized the transportation industry, Docker containers disrupted software. This opens the door to auto-scalable applications, which effortlessly matches the demands of rapidly growing and varying user traffic. Containers can be replicated or deleted on the fly to meet varying end-user traffic.

Nonetheless, we found a number of limitations that could not satisfy our requirements e.g. stalling the processing of log events until a dump is complete, missing ability to trigger dumps on demand, or implementations that block write traffic by using table locks. Blocking write traffic by locking tables. Writing events to any output.

For example, while HTTP deals with URLs and data interpretation, Transport Layer Security (TLS) ensures security by encryption, TCP enables reliable data transport by retransmitting lost packets, and Internet Protocol (IP) routes packets from one endpoint to another across different devices in between (middleboxes). What Is QUIC?

However, it is paramount that we validate the complete set of identifiers such as a list of movie ids across producers and consumers for higher overall confidence in the data transport layer of choice. Please stay tuned! We will have follow up blog posts on these topics in future. Endnotes ¹ Inmon, Bill. Dehghani, Zhamak.

Measuring Carbon is Not Enough?—?Unintended Consequences

Buildings, food and transport have a much bigger carbon footprint than IT globally. A rough guide if you don’t have any better data is that with no traffic to a system it will be 10% utilization and use 30% of peak power, 25% utilization uses 50% of peak power, and at 50% utilization it uses 75% of peak power.

As such, a micro-optimization is, again, how you probably need to fine-tune things on a low level to really benefit from it. Note that there is an Apache Traffic Server implementation, though.). Traffic for one connection must, of course, always be routed to the same back-end server (the others wouldn’t know what to do with it!).

And whenever one server isn’t sufficient to serve the high traffic needs of your portal, you can scale your Liferay portal by adding additional servers. It is mainly required for parallel processing, fault tolerance and load balancing, high traffic on the application. Users can tune these settings for their needs.

An often used metaphor is that of a pipe used to transport water. One aspect of performance is about how efficiently a transport protocol can use a network’s full (physical) bandwidth (i.e. As such, tuning congestion logic is usually only done by a select few developers, and evolution is slow.
