Optimizing Webservers for High Throughput and Low Latency | Dropbox

Speaker: Alexey Ivanov, SRE, Dropbox Dropbox Edge Network is an nginx-based proxy tier designed to handle both latency-sensitive metadata transactions and high-throughput data transfers. We are going to discuss efficiency/performance optimizations of different layers of the proxy stack: starting from drivers and interrupts, through TCP/IP and kernel, to library and application level tunings.
