Pushy to the Limit: Evolving Netflix’s WebSocket proxy for the future

The Netflix TechBlog

Where aws ends and the internet begins is an exercise left to the reader. The other main use case was RENO, the Rapid Event Notification System mentioned above. In our case, we value low latency — the faster we can read from KeyValue, the faster these messages can get delivered. Sample system diagram for an Alexa voice command.
