Dynatrace supports SnapStart for Lambda as an AWS launch partner

Dynatrace

The new Amazon capability enables customers to improve the startup latency of their functions from several seconds to as low as sub-second (up to 10 times faster) at P99 (the 99th latency percentile). This can cause latency outliers and may lead to a poor end-user experience for latency-sensitive applications.

Seamlessly Swapping the API backend of the Netflix Android app

The Netflix TechBlog

We went from an essentially serverless model in a monolithic service, to deploying and maintaining a new microservice that hosted our app backend endpoints. This allows the app to query a list of “paths” in each HTTP request, and get specially formatted JSON (jsonGraph) that we use to cache the data and hydrate the UI.

Implementing AWS well-architected pillars with automated workflows

Dynatrace

For example, optimizing resource utilization for greater scale and lower cost and driving insights to increase adoption of cloud-native serverless services. Storing frequently accessed data in faster storage, usually in-memory caching, improves data retrieval speed and overall system performance. Beyond

Cloudburst: stateful functions-as-a-service

The Morning Paper

Today’s paper choice is a fresh-from-the-arXivs take on serverless computing from the RISELab at Berkeley, addressing some of the limitations outlined in last year’s ‘ Berkeley view on serverless computing.’ A low-latency autoscaling KVS can serve as both global storage and a DHT-like overlay network.

A one size fits all database doesn't fit anyone

All Things Distributed

Use cases such as gaming, ad tech, and IoT lend themselves particularly well to the key-value data model where the access patterns require low-latency Gets/Puts for known key values. The purpose of DynamoDB is to provide consistent single-digit millisecond latency for any scale of workloads.

Formal foundations of serverless computing

The Morning Paper

Formal foundations of serverless computing Jangda et al., won a distinguished paper award at OOPSLA this year for their work on ‘Formal foundations of serverless computing.’ They show the conditions under which a serverless function can safely ignore these peculiarities, and thus become much simpler to reason about.

Accelerating Data: Faster and More Scalable ElastiCache for Redis

All Things Distributed

Three years ago, as part of our AWS Fast Data journey we introduced Amazon ElastiCache for Redis , a fully managed in-memory data store that operates at sub-millisecond latency. While caching continues to be a dominant use of ElastiCache for Redis, we see customers increasingly use it as an in-memory NoSQL database.
