They can run applications in Sweden, serve end users across the Nordics with lower latency, and leverage advanced technologies such as containers, serverless computing, and more. Supercell is a mobile game developer, based in Helsinki, Finland, with over 100 million people playing their games every single day.
What it means to be cloud-native has gone through several evolutions: VM to container to serverless. Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. The disincentive to game service pricing levels in order to create short-term profits at the expense of long-term investment will be overwhelming.
These use their regression models to estimate processing time (which will depend on the hardware available, current load, etc.). Why would we want to live migrate web workers? The MWW manager on the client sends a query to all nearby edge servers including the input size of the worker.
Infrastructure as a Service is the term used for those cloud-based solutions that provide complete infrastructure to the users including all the overheads, hardware, and networking facilities. SaaS does not need you to manage hardware or other requirements such as OS and middleware. This is also called serverless computing in general.
Within a few years, we saw significant expansion of contract labor firms (or "services", or "consulting", whichever you prefer): firms like Accenture and Infosys grew rapidly, while firms like IBM ditched hardware for services. With all cash and no equity, employees now had clear rules of the game, too. Tech labor was wage work.
Think of a gaming company that creates a game that is getting popular, so the number of resources needed to support more users would increase considerably. But if the game loses popularity, the server would become over-provisioned, and the resources allocated must be re-sized to better fit the application’s needs.
It can be hard to visualize the huge network of hardware that allows you to send a request for a page to a server and then receive a response back. I recently helped a gaming website improve its performance. As a result of this, my view of the Internet for a long time was a little ephemeral, a sort of mirage.
