How Discord Supercharges Network Disks for Extreme Low Latency
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/27
A while ago there was an interesting point of using tiered md to both obtain low read latency and write safety on the Google Cloud Platform in [Wayback/Archive] How Discord Supercharges Network Disks for Extreme Low Latency
It is an interesting approach to universally tune performance within the sketched boundaries, but raised some questions as their aim was improving ScyllaDB performance and Unix-like platforms on Google Cloud Platform can supports ZFS.
In this case Discord wanted to improve their ScyllaDB that was already read/written from GCP Persistent Storage and used tiered md to improve that.

2014 memory: TL;DR Thank you! You’re awesome! Let’s do it again! • GDG DevFest Netherlands
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/08
10 years ago, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and attend the [Wayback/Archive] GDG DevFest Netherlands 2014.
Until then, on the mobile front, I only had deep experience with the .NET Compact Framework, on the cloud framework I had no real experience: my experience were (sometimes huge) systems running in private data centers communicating with various protocols over SNA and TCP/IP (and way before that: UUCP and dial-up) and on the programming front my strengths were .NET and Delphi (with truckloads of scripting) and no experience in Go or Dart (Rust was invented a year later).
So I was really happy with the [Wayback/Archive] TL;DR Thank you! You’re awesome! Let’s do it again! • GDG DevFest Netherlands
I think this comment by Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on a G+ post is one of the best complements we’ve got:“Thanks for organizing this. It was a great conference! A great mix of things outside my comfort zone and things I could relate to from a very different perspective: wonderful and inspiring.”
G+ plus is gone, but this memory will last forever as this was a start widening my horizon learning about GDG like I knew about SDN*, Borland/Inprise/Codegear/Embarcadero DevRel and Microsoft DevRel.

I won a “The Cloud Resume Challenge Guidebook” bundle: Thanks Forrest Brazeal for writing it and Lightspin for the prize (:
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/12/03
Since all three editions of [Wayback/Archive] The Cloud Resume Challenge Guidebook were on my wish list as I wanted to practice more cloud computing skills in a structured way during my reintegration after the long series of procedures that (hopefully for a long time) got rid of my metastasised rectum cancer, I was really happy to win the bundle late 2022:

How much is Google Cloud Latency between Regions?
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/01/11
Interesting post which links to an on-line overview of the current latencies:
- [WayBack] How much is Google Cloud Latency between Regions?
- [Archive.is] Results for downlink, latency and dns tests from your connection to Google Cloud Platform Google Cloud Platform Network Test | CloudHarmony
Does anybody know about similar information about other big cloud providers like Amazon and Azure?
