The Three Cs: Concatenate, Compress, Cache

CSS Wizardry

Caching them at the other end: How long should we cache files on a user’s device? Given this limitation, it was advantageous to have fewer files: if we needed to download 18 files, that’s three separate chunks of work; if we could somehow bring that number down to six, it’s only one discrete chunk of work.

Benchmark (YCSB) numbers for Redis, MongoDB, Couchbase2, Yugabyte and BangDB

High Scalability

We note that for MongoDB update latency is really very low (low is better) compared to other dbs, however the read latency is on the higher side. The latency table shows that 99th percentile latency for Yugabyte is quite high compared to others (lower is better). Again Yugabyte latency is quite high. Conclusion.

MezzFS?—?Mounting object storage in Netflix’s media processing platform

The Netflix TechBlog

Furthermore, the movie file is very large (often several 100s of GB), and we want to avoid downloading the entire file for each individual video encoder that might be processing only a small segment of the whole movie. Disk Caching? — ? MezzFS can be configured to cache objects on the local disk. Regional caching? —?Netflix
