KeyCDN Launches New POPs in 2021

KeyCDN

The image below shows a significant drop in latency once we've launched the new point of presence in Israel. In fact, latency has been reduced by almost 50%! With a total of 5 POPs in Oceania, this continent benefits from lower latency with every POP added. With a population of 2.5

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

The Performance Inequality Gap, 2021

Alex Russell

Back in 2016, I gave a talk outlining the causes and effects of the terrible performance of web apps built using popular tools on the fastest-growing device segment: low-end to mid-range Android phones. A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage.

The Performance Inequality Gap, 2023

Alex Russell

Add to this the fact that desktop devices have a lifespan between five and eight years, on average, and that the P75 device was sold in 2016. That is, what was the average device in 2016? These devices feature: Eight slow, big.LITTLE ARM cores (A75+A55, or A73+A53) built on last-generation processes with very little cache.

Percentiles don’t work: Analyzing the distribution of response times for web services

Adrian Cockcroft

The mean and percentile measurements hide this structure, but the rest of this post will show how the structure can be measured and analyzed so that you can figure out a useful model of your system, understand what is driving the long tail of latencies and come up with better SLAs and measures of capacity.

Fixing a slow site iteratively

CSS - Tricks

Redirects are often pretty light in terms of the latency that they add to a website, but they are an easy first thing to check, and they can generally be removed with little effort. I’m going to update my referenced URL to the new site to help decrease latency that adds drag to the initial page load. Text-based assets.
