Before a new version of the application is deployed, the software is subject to a series of load tests that evaluate capacity and performance under a series of simulated traffic and application demands. These metrics are latency, traffic, errors, and saturation, all of which must be key considerations when curating user experience.

We thus assigned a priority to each use case and sharded event traffic by routing to priority-specific queues and the corresponding event processing clusters. This separation allows us to tune system configuration and scaling policies independently for different event priorities and traffic patterns.

In that scenario, the system would need to deal with the data propagation latency directly, for example, by use of timeouts or client-originated update tracking mechanisms. With traffic growth, a single leader node handling all request volume started becoming overloaded. The cache is kept in sync with the current leader process.

Benefits of Caching Improved performance: Caching eliminates the need to retrieve data from the original source every time, resulting in faster response times and reduced latency. Reduced server load: By serving cached content, the load on the server is reduced, allowing it to handle more requests and improving overall scalability.

First, it helps to understand that applications and all the services and infrastructure that support them generate telemetry data based on traffic from real users. Latency is the time that it takes a request to be served. So how can teams start implementing SLOs? This telemetry data serves as the basis for establishing meaningful SLOs.

Reduced tail latencies In both our GRPC and DGS Framework services, GC pauses are a significant source of tail latencies.

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.
