Startup CTOs after reading the title: we gotta build from the ground up with Protobuf or we won't have any customers!
- rewmie 3y agoThe article itself illustrates this nonsense attitude by mentioning 60% latency drops but a) what does that translate in ms, b) were those savings relevant at all? A cursory glance over the article leads to some references to P99 latencies dropping from around mid 20ms to around mid 10ms. Those are irrelevant. Does the 1% care if their requests take 10ms more to fulfill? From the surface this sounds like meaningless micro-optimization. I'm glad someone got to promote themselves with this bullshit though.
- hellcow 3y agoLatencies add up. 1 end-user request may have lots of requests in the backend which run in serial… especially when they have “50,000 services.”
