Performance Hero: Annie Sullivan

Speed Curve

Then in 2008, Google issued a code yellow for application speed, and I was the code yellow lead for Google Docs. So in addition to all the optimization work we did for Google Docs, I got to spend a lot of time and energy working on the measurement problem: how can we get end-to-end latency numbers?

Zero Configuration Service Mesh with On-Demand Cluster Discovery

The Netflix TechBlog

A brief history of IPC at Netflix Netflix was early to the cloud, particularly for large-scale companies: we began the migration in 2008, and by 2010, Netflix streaming was fully run on AWS. There is a downside to fetching this data on-demand: this adds latency to the first request to a cluster.

DevOps automation: From event-driven automation to answer-driven automation [with causal AI]

Dynatrace

The evolution of DevOps automation Since the concept of DevOps emerged around 2007 and 2008 in response to pain points with Agile development, DevOps automation has been continuously evolving. They can also see how the change can affect critical objectives like SLOs and golden signals, such as traffic, latency, saturation, and error rate.

Expanding the Cloud – An AWS Region is coming to Hong Kong

All Things Distributed

This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience. In 2008, AWS opened a point of presence (PoP) in Hong Kong to enable customers to serve content to their end users with low latency. Since then, AWS has added two more PoPs in Hong Kong, the latest in 2016.

Looking back at 10 years of compartmentalization at AWS

All Things Distributed

March 26, 2008 doesn't have any delicious desserts associated with it, but that's the day when we launched Availability Zones for Amazon EC2. One is that the latency within a zone is incredibly fast. To provide geographic diversity and lower latencies to end users. The Amazon S3 team still celebrate with homemade pies!

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. Ford, et al., “TCP
