4. Performance = Perception • Best request vs worst request •

   Focus on the few, super-slow instances: improve performance like whoa ! • Caching vs Distribution

5. Caching

6. Data Layer Query Caching Database-level performance enhancements ! innoDB buffer

   pool, CouchDB’s ACID architecture

7. Query Layer Save CPU Preprocessed/aggregated data; scheduled handling of data

   ! CouchDB views, Download Counts

8. App Layer Per-User Data that doesn’t change per user !

   Storing user session data in Redis

9. Edge Server Layer Centralized/Global CDN, static assets ! Fastly

10. Client Layer Distributed HTTP headers, local storage, etc. ! Browser

    caching

11. Distribution

12. Split Load More boxes, more specialized boxes read-only, write-only !

    One process per box Redis, CouchDB, ElasticSearch

13. Add Resiliency Multi-cloud, multi-zone East/West, multiple datacenters ! Fallback to

    least effort/ most common usage i.e. read-only

14. Boost with Third-Party Services Global content distribution network CDN

15. The End?
