As software development grows more complex, managing components using an automated onboarding process becomes increasingly important. This is especially crucial in microservice architectures, where the number of components can be overwhelming. Proper notifications or escalations are automated based on ownership information.

Old Gatekeeper Architecture This model had several problems associated with it: This process was completely I/O bound and put a lot of load on upstream systems. New Gatekeeper Architecture With this model, liveness evaluation is conceptually separated from the data retrieval from upstream systems.

Managing and operating asynchronous workflows can be difficult without the proper tools and architecture that puts observability, debugging, and tracing at the forefront. We are expected to process 1,000 watermarks for a single distribution in a minute, with non-linear latency growth as the number of watermarks increases.

It’s been clear for a while that software designed explicitly for the data center environment will increasingly want/need to make different design trade-offs to e.g. general-purpose systems software that you might install on your own machines. The desire for CPU efficiency and lower latencies is easy to understand. Enter Google!

Figure 1: Netflix ML Architecture Fact: A fact is data about our members or videos. Low-latency Queries To avoid downloading all of the fact data from s3 in a spark executor and then dropping it, we analyzed our query patterns and figured out that there is a way to only access the data that we are interested in.

Server-generated assets, since client-side generation would require the retrieval of many individual images, which would increase latency and time-to-render. To reduce latency, assets should be generated in an offline fashion and not in real time. Here’s what the final architecture looked like.

In particular, we’ll define plans and offers, review the legacy architecture and some of its shortcomings, and dig into our new architecture and some of its advantages. Let’s take a deeper look at the architecture, protocols, and systems involved. A plan is essentially a set of features with a price.

For the inaugural O’Reilly survey on serverless architecture adoption, we were pleasantly surprised at the high level of response: more than 1,500 respondents from a wide range of locations, companies, and industries participated. As noted earlier, the majority of survey respondents are software engineers.

When it comes to innovation, most of CMS solutions are constrained by their legacy architecture (read strong coupling between content management and content presentation) which makes it difficult to serve content to new types of emerging channels such as apps and devices. Gone the days when you required to have big fat-contract with Akamai.
