Seeing through hardware counters: a journey to threefold performance increase

The Netflix TechBlog

A quick canary test was free of errors and showed lower latency, which is expected given that our standard canary setup routes an equal amount of traffic to both the baseline running on 4xl and the canary on 12xl. What’s worse, average latency degraded by more than 50%, with both CPU and latency patterns becoming more “choppy.”

Time to First Byte: What It Is and Why It Matters

CSS Wizardry

The first—and often most surprising for people to learn—thing that I want to draw your attention to is that TTFB counts one whole round trip of latency. The reason is because mobile networks are, as a rule, high latency connections. Last mile latency deals with the disproportionate complexity toward the terminus of a connection.

Predictive CPU isolation of containers at Netflix

The Netflix TechBlog

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. This avoids thrashing caches too much for B and evens out the pressure on the L3 caches of the machine.

What is serverless computing? Driving efficiency without sacrificing observability

Dynatrace

This allows teams to sidestep much of the cost and time associated with managing hardware, platforms, and operating systems on-premises, while also gaining the flexibility to scale rapidly and efficiently. When an application is triggered, it can cause latency as the application starts. This creates latency when they need to restart.

Optimize your environment: Unveiling Dynatrace Hyper-V extension for enhanced performance and efficient troubleshooting

Dynatrace

It enables multiple operating systems to run simultaneously on the same physical hardware and integrates closely with Windows-hosted services. Therefore, they experience how the application code functions and how the application operations depend on the underlying hardware resources and the operating system managed by Hyper-V.
