Werner Vogels weblog on building scalable and robust distributed systems. There are different considerations when deciding where to allocate resources with latency and cost being the two obvious ones, but compliance sometimes plays an important role as well.

In this comparison of Redis vs Memcached, we strip away the complexity, focusing on each in-memory data store’s performance, scalability, and unique features. Redis is better suited for complex data models, and Memcached is better suited for high-throughput, string-based caching scenarios. Data transfer technology.

In particular this has been true for applications based on algorithms - often MPI-based - that depend on frequent low-latency communication and/or require significant cross sectional bandwidth. Driving down the cost of Big-Data analytics.

As a part of that process, we also realized that there were a number of latency sensitive or location specific use cases like Hadoop, HPC, and testing that would be ideal for Spot.

There are four main reasons to do so: Performance - For many applications and services, data access latency to end users is important.

After the launch of the AWS EU (Stockholm) Region, there will be 13 Availability Zones in Europe for customers to build flexible, scalable, secure, and highly available applications. It will also give customers another region where they can store their data with the knowledge that it will not leave the EU unless they move it.

Coupled with stateless application servers to execute business logic and a database-like system to provide persistent storage, they form a core component of popular data center service archictectures. session state that you want to survive an application process crash), and to keep the application server/services layer stateless.

Werner Vogels weblog on building scalable and robust distributed systems. For example, the most fundamental abstraction trade-off has always been latency versus throughput. The throughput of this pipeline is more important than the latency of the individual operations. Driving down the cost of Big-Data analytics.

Werner Vogels weblog on building scalable and robust distributed systems. There are many factors that come into play when you need to meet stringent availability and performance requirements under ultra-scalable conditions. Achieving strict consistency can come at a cost in update or read latency, and may result in lower throughput.
