London Calling! An AWS Region is coming to the UK!

All Things Distributed

Yesterday, AWS evangelist Jeff Barr wrote that AWS will be opening a region in South Korea in early 2016 that will be our 5th region in Asia Pacific. Customers can choose between 11 regions around the world today and, in addition to Korea, we are adding regions in India, a second region in China, and Ohio in 2016.

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.

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.

A Management Maturity Model for Performance

Alex Russell

This is a complex topic, but to borrow from a recent post , web performance expands access to information and services by reducing latency and variance across interactions in a session, with a particular focus on the tail of the distribution (P75+). Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.

Can You Afford It?: Real-world Web Performance Budgets

Alex Russell

Teams with this support are free to set performance budgets, do “bakeoffs” between competing approaches, and invest in performance infrastructure. It simulates a link with a 400ms RTT and 400-600Kbps of throughput (plus latency variability and simulated packet loss). Performance budgets keep everyone on the same.
