Sotiris Nanopoulos and Ben Kochie, Reddit
Join us as we discuss how we optimized multi-process Python applications. Decreasing CPU variance, leading better CPU utilization, while improving latency by 20%. We’ll share our journey from a Ruby-based system to creating Monoceros to tackle Python’s limitations in large scale Kubernetes deploymnents. Learn about our initial problems which lead us to improve load-balancing and observabily with Monoceros. We’ll wrap up with a comparison of SO_REUSEPORT load balancing and full load balancers. This talk is perfect for those interested in efficient system performance at scale.
