Given that point, I got the impression that the comparison was against loading resources from S3. The difference between that and serving from memory (even between that and serving from uncached traditional hard-drive) is going to be significant.
EDIT: cursory research suggests S3 latency (https://stackoverflow.com/a/861539/114292 https://stackoverflow.com/a/861539/114292, being the most recent reference that turned up) is smaller than it was last time I remember needing to look into it, but still of the order of 10+ms.
- antihero 3y agoYeah I see this as a viable alternative to serving from S3 (I mean, which is still a great option I recommend provided you aren’t exposing S3 directly and set up S3 properly locked down) but the original niche was having an SPA web interface that runs on a k8s cluster as part of wider service where you want a tiny minimal and fast image that can be configurable when the pod is spun up. I just then expanded it to be a bit not of a general solution to have fun with it.
