Cool glad to hear from an insider about how things are/were run. Do you have any more insight on what your performance budget is/was for a typical request/response cycle? We aim for sub millisecond response time at the 99th percentile.
- jedberg 8y agoI haven't worked at reddit for seven years now, but back then, we didn't have a performance. budget. We tracked median and 99th for each api call, and then made targeted optimizations for the slowest requests, but we didn't have the resources to set a specific budget. The goal was just to make sure that the most popular requests remained as fast as possible and didn't get worse over time.
