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.

Introduction and account creation Highlight our value propositions and begin the account creation process. Given the flow and mode, the Orchestration Service can then process the request. Lower latency as a result of fewer service calls, which means fewer errors for our visitors. Each step of the flow serves a distinct purpose.

Users who rely on the websites for their fundamental needs or entertainment will not tolerate even a few seconds delay. A request will be sent from the client-side and an HTTP check waits on the server port to get the message, process it, and then send back the response. Network latency. Processing and generating the response.

Each queue is then processed by a separate Page Generation cluster that is launched to serve a particular partition. Once the generator is running, it processes the requests in the queue to compute the simulated pages. Generated pages are then persisted to an S3-backed Hive table for metrics processing.
