Designing Instagram

High Scalability

The streaming data store makes the system extensible to support other use-cases (e.g. System Components. The system will comprise of several micro-services each performing a separate task. When a user requests for feed then there will be two parallel threads involved in fetching the user feeds to optimize for latency.

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.

These 7 Edge Data Challenges Will Test Companies the Most in 2025

VoltDB

By bringing computation closer to the data source, edge-based deployments reduce latency, enhance real-time capabilities, and optimize network bandwidth. Unlike centralized systems, where data resides in a single, well-protected environment, edge computing increases the attack surface, making systems vulnerable to breaches.

Expanding the Cloud – An AWS Region is coming to Hong Kong

All Things Distributed

This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience. In 2008, AWS opened a point of presence (PoP) in Hong Kong to enable customers to serve content to their end users with low latency. Since then, AWS has added two more PoPs in Hong Kong, the latest in 2016.

Titan Graph Database Integration with DynamoDB: World-class Performance, Availability, and Scale for New Workloads

All Things Distributed

When using relational databases, traversing relationships requires expensive table JOIN operations, causing significantly increased latency as table size and query complexity grow. Another example is for tracking inventory in a vast logistics system, where only a subset of its locations is relevant for a specific item.

What is a Real-Time Data Platform?

VoltDB

Some of the most common use cases for real-time data platforms include business support systems, fraud prevention, hyper-personalization, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications (more on this in a bit). One common problem for real-time data platforms is latency, particularly at scale.
