Consistent caching mechanism in Titus Gateway

The Netflix TechBlog

The original assumptions and architectural choices were no longer viable. We introduce a caching mechanism in the API gateway layer, allowing us to offload processing from singleton leader elected controllers without giving up strict data consistency and guarantees clients observe. How do I know that my cache is up to date?

How We Optimized Read Performance: Readahead, Prefetch, and Cache

DZone

High-performance computing systems often use all-flash architectures and kernel-mode parallel file systems to satisfy performance demands. However, the increasing sizes of both data volumes and distributed system clusters raise significant cost challenges for all-flash storage and vast operational challenges for kernel clients.

Improved Alerting with Atlas Streaming Eval

The Netflix TechBlog

While Atlas is architected around compute & storage separation, and we could theoretically just scale the query layer to meet the increased query demand, every query, regardless of its type, has a data component that needs to be pushed down to the storage layer.
