When Building Low-Latency, High-Scale Systems, Push as Much Processing as Possible to Later

Read Original

This technical article discusses a key architectural strategy for building high-scale, low-latency systems: pushing non-essential processing to a later, event-driven stage. It explains how to split a platform into a real-time component for immediate, blocking tasks and an event-driven component for deferred work like logging and notifications, using patterns like Pub/Sub to improve speed and scalability.
