If P99 Latency is BS, What’s the Alternative?
What’s the problem with P99s? And if they truly are BS, what should we look at instead? Hear from Gil Tene, Alex Hidalgo, and Charity Majors.

A first look at the agenda for P99 CONF, the technical conference for engineers who obsess over high-performance, low-latency applications.
A little while back in Tokio’s Discord chat server, someone asked a really interesting question: how can you stream a multipart body from an incoming request into an outgoing request? My struggle to answer this really helped me understand Rust async lifetimes. We’ll explore why this is tricky, then design and benchmark a solution.
Is there really any difference in how we reason about an abstract program performance versus a BPF program? Could we use the same techniques and approaches?
Bringing compute to the edge only solves half the problem, especially if you’re making calls to a centralized database somewhere in a far away cluster.
It’s easy to write inaccurate benchmarks and make wrong assumptions based on them. This blog examines four common and concrete traps leading to inaccuracy.
