Only a specialized subset of engineers obsess over long-tail latencies — P99, P999, or even P9999 percentiles — and are truly fascinated by things like: Programming techniques like io_uring, eBPF, and AF_XDP Tracing techniques like OSNoise tracer and Flamegraphs Application-level optimizations like priority scheduling and object compaction Distributed storage system optimizations in Ceph, Crimson, and …

Arm-based computers are continuing to make inroads across both personal computing as well as cloud server spaces. From the Arm-based MacBooks you can use during your development stages, to the Graviton2-based instances on AWS, which we recently showed provide better price-performance than similar Intel x86-based instances. Yet Amazon is not the only cloud provider providing …
