Summary
In this chapter, you learned about the various architecture design principles that impact the performance of applications. You learned about latency and throughput at different layers of architecture and how they relate to each other.
For highly performant applications, you need to have low latency and high throughput at every architecture layer. Concurrency helps to process a large number of requests. You also learned the differences between parallelism and concurrency and gained insights into how caching can help improve overall application performance.
Then, you learned about choosing your technology and its working models, which can help achieve your desired application performance. While looking at the compute options, you learned about the various processor types and the differences between them to help you make the right choice when selecting server instances. You learned about containers and how they can help you to utilize resources efficiently and, at the...
