25. Your performance intuition is wrong!
1. collect the data (monitoring, logging, profiling)
2. find the bottleneck (based on data)
3. fix the bottleneck
4. collect the data and check the assumptions
5. go to 1.
26. Math
Lies, damned lies, and statistics:
● arithmetic mean = 2.9
● median = 1
● standard deviation = 6 (only for normal distribution)
47. Coordinated omission problem
total time 60 s
max 30 s
99th 1 s
time in % for max 50%
expected time in % for 99th 50% - 1% = 49%
real time for 99th 60 s * 49% = 29.4 s
