I wrote a functions-as-a-service product.

To see how it performs, I wrote a function that speaks AWS protocol and does read-through caching to dynamodb. To use it, you just configure your AWS sdk.

At 1k rps, dynamodb is 3.6ms p99 on a hot key.
At 1k rps, my FAAS is 0.8ms p99 on a hot key.

At 10k rps, dynamodb cannot serve the hot key.
At 10k rps, my FAAS is 2.5ms p99 for the hot key.

Webassembly is very interesting, and I can’t wait to launch my service.

It’s honestly hard to understand just how fast modern computers are.

It is astonishing how slowly modern software runs on them.

@zhenyi Hi there! I bought Vinegar and it seems to be having a hard time with this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b73xG1HlFhY

It plays the video for about 1/2 to 1 second, and then stops. It quickly reloads the video, showing Fallback in the resolution picker, and plays from the same spot for a half second again. It loops like this until I refresh. I can choose the loop second by seeking into the video somewhere. It then continues looping 1 second from that point forever.
