"I'll highlight the very best of the over 300 tips I've extracted this year. The top tip of the year was on development techniques that apply to different latency targets ..."
"Low location affinity of data is a latency problem. Data that will be used together but are located on different nodes will need to have the data combined to be used and that will cause additional latency. You can't get scale out, low affinity and low latency all at the same time; scaling out will limit affinity, impacting latency."
