You need a lot of software engineers and the willingness to rewrite a lot of software to entertain that idea. Here are the bombshell paragraphs: Our datacenter applications seek ever more CPU-efficient and lower-latency communication, which Pony Express delivers. The desire for CPU efficiency and lower latencies is easy to understand.

By not coupling the concepts of eligibility and availability into a single service, we enable increased developer productivity since each team is able to focus on their core competencies and any change in eligibility does not affect the SKU Platform. Lower latency as a result of fewer service calls, which means fewer errors for our visitors.

To this end, we developed tools that compared real pages computed by our live production system with that of our simulators, both in terms of the final output and the features involved in our models. It has also helped us detect bugs early in the model development process when the offline metrics go vigorously against our hypothesis.

One common problem for real-time data platforms is latency, particularly at scale. High latency often slows down time to insights, which reduces the organization’s ability to use timely information for decision-making. IoT applications Real-time data platforms can also power a number of IoT applications.

Switching from Solaris to Linux has become much easier in the last two years, with Linux developments in ZFS, Zones, and DTrace. Linux has also been developing its own ZFS-like filesystem, btrfs. Since ZFS is an add-on developed out-of-tree, it will always be harder to get the same level of attention. LTS (April 2016).
