Alluxio is leveraged as compute-side virtual storage to improve performance. The Apache Spark + Alluxio stack is getting quite popular particularly for the unification of data access across S3 and HDFS. In addition, compute and storage are increasingly being separated causing larger latencies for queries. But to get the best performance, like any technology stack, you need to follow the best practices. MORE
The reasons for this poor performance include things such as bad coding practices, broken bindings, complex layouts, the lack of UI virtualization, and much more. Are you a WPF developer?

Data preparation and service virtualization functionality/tools would be here very handy here. And some functionality like network virtualization can be found in more sophisticated products – but it is time to have all of them (or at least have a good integration with “chaos engineering” tools). Following up my post Are Times still Good for Load Testing? , I decided to answer multiple comments here separately. MORE
