The Three Cs: Concatenate, Compress, Cache

CSS Wizardry

Compressing them over the network: Which compression algorithm, if any, will we use? Caching them at the other end: How long should we cache files on a user’s device? In our specific examples above, the one-big-file pattern incurred 201ms of latency, whereas the many-files approach accumulated 4,362ms by comparison.

Netflix Cloud Packaging in the Terabyte Era

The Netflix TechBlog

It is worth pointing out that cloud processing is always subject to variable network conditions. Our previous blog post described how MezzFS addresses the challenges for reads using various techniques, such as adaptive buffering and regional caches, to make the system performant and to lower costs.

Distributed Algorithms in NoSQL Databases

Highly Scalable

It is well known and fairly obvious that in geographically distributed systems or other environments with probable network partitions or delays it is not generally possible to maintain high availability without sacrificing consistency because isolated parts of the database have to operate independently in case of network partition.

Best Free DNS Hosting Providers

KeyCDN

ISPs do cache DNS however which means if your first provider goes down it will still try to query the first DNS server for a period of time before querying for the second one. Just like with content delivery networks, DNS hosting providers also have multiple POPs. Their network is made up of over 60 POPs and supports IPv6 everywhere.

Azure Well-Architected Framework: What it is and how to tame it with AI and automation

Dynatrace

Using a data-driven approach to size Azure resources, Dynatrace OneAgent captures host metrics out-of-the-box to assess CPU, memory, and network utilization on a VM host. In comparison, the Dynatrace platform reliably takes that burden off human operators by utilizing its causation-based AI engine, Davis. Missing caching layers.

How Caches Become Databases – And Why You Don’t Want This

VoltDB

The most obvious and common way this happens is when companies try to evolve their caches into a data platform that can, for example, be used as highly available enterprise key-value stores for volatile data. Let’s look at a typical scenario involving the javax cache API, also known as JSR107. How hard can it be?
