Why latency is critical for your app | Big Ideas In App Architecture #podcast

today one of the benchmarks is latency experience right like if you get poor latency or if your systems are down you are going to see somebody unhappy tweeting about it and saying how bad of a system it is 15 years ago nobody really cared about it that much to go and tell the people that I really want to tell people you know but it's things have changed so much I think the difference was uh technology was a supporting function that's how we sort of saw it you had Blockbuster video where the business was Distributing these movies and discs and people came in and it was still interesting to see you know which movies were the most viewed and you know they help predict which ones I'd buy in the future but there wasn't a real-time component to that and the difference now to be competitive technology really has become the business Blockbuster was eaten by Netflix and there I mean real time really matters in terms of delivery the recommendation engines having content delivery that that is is robust and reliable and isn't keeping people waiting because people won't put up with it and so you're exactly right that the entire landscape has changed
