I actually built this primarily with chatGPT o1. One of the things LLMS are really good at is writing scripts for processing and pairing down data. I wanna do a blog post talking about how did some of this, maybe coming up!

[OP] Backblaze writes about these data sets, and includes some more conventional graphs. For example: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-drive-stats-for-202... I wanted to do something more fun!

At PlanetScale, we have a really nice solution for this in MySQL using SPANN + SPFresh. The way we've implemented it allows for pre and post filtering, full compatibility with where clause filtering, and has the same kind of acid compl

Author here: Yeah, the mod was added to reduce risk of loop(s) getting optimized away.

Author here: Yeah, I was surprised that there doesn't seem to be many options for extra optimizations in the Go compiler. Would be curious if Go experts have more insight or other compiler recommendations.

Yeah :/ That's what I had on my local machine, and I did not upgrade for this test. I have heard that things have gotten better in python 3.13. Regardless, I did include PyPy that shows it can at least be reasonably fast.

Just pointing out that what you're paying for is actually 3x these resources. By default you get a primary server and two replicas with whatever specification you choose. This is primarily for data durability, but you can also send que

Author here - You can see the raw data as a table here: https://www.cloudping.co . Sometimes visualizations like this are a careful act of balancing practicality with cool-factor.

Author here - thank you!

Author here - If you have a resource that provides good data on Azure or GCP latencies, please send them my way.

Author here - The data came from https://cloudping.co , and the GitHub repo has not been updated in 4 years. See https://github.com/mda590/cloudping.co . Is that a newer data center? The CloudPing site is def

Author here - yeah, I came across that when I was digging for data I could use for this. It's cool.

Author here - it is quite cool.

Author here - I just used what was available on https://www.cloudping.co , which is certainly missing a few. The CloudPing GitHub repo has not had a code change in 4 years. Maybe a few new regions have popped up since it was last

Author here - The ramping is a really good idea. The current visualization makes a 90ms latency look "good" when in reality, thats totally unacceptable for many applications, especially for things where multiple round-trips need t

Author here - Thanks for the suggestion Alex. From your perspective, what are some of the best ways you've seen people solve for this in the past? If you have links, please share.

Author here - Interesting. Someone on X also gave this idea to me. Any good resources for how to accurately compute this?
