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 difference between parallelism and concurrency and gained insight into how caching can help to improve overall application performance.

Then you learned about choosing your technology and their working models, which can help achieve your desired application performance. While looking at the compute option, you learned about the various processor types and their differences to help you make the right choice when selecting server instances. You learned about containers and how they can help you to utilize the resources efficiently and at the same...
