Latency

Latency shows you how to troubleshoot latency issues in existing systems, and how to create low latency systems from the ground up. You’ll discover how your code runs differently on distributed systems, databases, and operating systems, and understand the common latency-causing issues in each situation. Hands-on projects help you apply what you learn.

You’ll write a latency benchmark harness to measure and visualize latency; and use colocation, partitioning, and caching to reduce latency in a REST API. Plus, tips, tricks, and author Pekka Enberg’s personal insights on latency ensure this book will remain a handy reference long after you’ve finished reading!
