As well as AWS Regions, we also have 24 AWS Edge Network Locations in Europe. After finding it cost prohibitive to use colocation centers in local markets where their users are based, iZettle decided to give up hardware. AWS is helping them reach their goal of becoming the leader in sustainable transport.

The net result of rapid advancements in the networking world is that inter-tier communications latency will approach the fundamental lower bound of speed-of-light propagation in the foreseeable future. It’s designed for “ emerging architectures featuring fully integrated NIs and hardware-terminated transport protocols.”

When Tom Tom launched the LBS platform they wanted the ability to reach millions of developers all around the world without having them invest a lot of capital upfront in hardware and building expensive data centers so turned to the cloud.

According to Dr. Bandwidth, performance analysis has two recurring themes: How fast should this code (or “simple” variations on this code) run on this hardware? The user environment defines the mapping of MPI ranks to hardware resources (cores, sockets, nodes). The MPI runtime library. in ways that are seldom transparent.

We constrain ourselves to a real-world baseline device + network configuration to measure progress. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. JavaScript is the single most expensive part of any page in ways that are a function of both network capacity and device speed. The median user is on a slow network.

These tools run page loads on simulated networks and devices and then tell you what the metrics were for that test run. LCP is going to be very dependent on network conditions and the processing power of devices being used (and a lot of your users are likely using a lot of lower-powered devices than you realize! ).

Now welcome to the hardware jungle. First, I don’t agree with the assertion that reliability alone is what’s important, or that it’s more important than latency, for the following reason: You can build reliable transports on top of unreliable ones. — The free lunch is over.

As we will see, QUIC and HTTP/3 indeed have great web performance potential, but mainly for users on slow networks. If your average visitor is on a fast cabled or cellular network, they probably won’t benefit from the new protocols all that much. An often used metaphor is that of a pipe used to transport water.
