I would say leave the average in but also show standard deviation and 95th percentile average. Of course it is still very unlikely that Azure Functions would come out on top in this case.
- currysoup_t 9y agoWhat leads you to believe performance follows a normal distribution? For a given especially slow request would you expect a corresponding especially fast request?
- DenisM 9y agoStandard deviation applies to all distributions, not just the normal distribution.
- teej 9y agoYou are arguing against yourself here. Having the mean and 95th/99th percentile is going to give you a better picture of the distribution than mean alone. Mean alone actually doesn’t give you ANY idea of the distribution. I don’t know why OP is being downvoted, managing to 95th percentile is very common practice and I also thought was a missing addition to the article.
