Investigation of a Workbench UI Latency Issue

The Netflix TechBlog

Using this approach, we observed latencies ranging from 1 to 10 seconds, averaging 7.4 However, when we captured packets on the ZeroMQ socket while reproducing the issue, we didn’t observe heavy traffic on this socket that could cause such blocking. Meanwhile, traffic from other ports, such as port 22 for SSH, remained unaffected.

Why Replace External Database Caches?

DZone

Putting an external cache in front of the database is commonly used to compensate for subpar latency stemming from various factors, such as inefficient database internals, driver usage, infrastructure choices, traffic spikes, and so on. This is a clear performance-oriented decision.

Building Netflix’s Distributed Tracing Infrastructure

The Netflix TechBlog

Now let’s look at how we designed the tracing infrastructure that powers Edgar. If we had an ID for each streaming session then distributed tracing could easily reconstruct session failure by providing service topology, retry and error tags, and latency measurements for all service calls.

Latency vs. Throughput: Navigating the Digital Highway

VoltDB

In this fast-paced ecosystem, two vital elements determine the efficiency of this traffic: latency and throughput. LATENCY: THE WAITING GAME Latency is like the time you spend waiting in line at your local coffee shop. All these moments combined represent latency – the time it takes for your order to reach your hands.

Introducing Netflix TimeSeries Data Abstraction Layer

The Netflix TechBlog

Rajiv Shringi Vinay Chella Kaidan Fullerton Oleksii Tkachuk Joey Lynch Introduction As Netflix continues to expand and diversify into various sectors like Video on Demand and Gaming , the ability to ingest and store vast amounts of temporal data — often reaching petabytes — with millisecond access latency has become increasingly vital.

Noisy Neighbor Detection with eBPF

The Netflix TechBlog

The first step is determining whether the problem originates from the application or the underlying infrastructure. Learn how Linux kernel instrumentation can improve your infrastructure observability with deeper insights and enhanced monitoring. We then calculate the run queue latency by simply subtracting the timestamps.

Event-Based Autoscaling: Ensuring Smooth Operations on Your Peak Days

DZone

These organizations face a common challenge – how much infrastructure do they need to ensure optimal performance without overprovisioning – which can become very costly, very quickly. This incident serves as a stark illustration of insufficient infrastructure planning during a critical event.
