  1. Large number of configuration choices Redis Cache Notification Service Facebook Google Front-end Queue Log Store Cache Relational Store Workers Storage CDN Blob Store Search Store

  2. Large number of configuration choices Notification Service Facebook Google Front-end Queue Log Store Cache Relational Store Workers Storage CDN Blob Store Search Store Reasoning about cost-performance trade-off is hard!

  3. Cost-Performance Trade-off ● Configuration does not directly map to performance ● End-to-end latency depends on application’s causal dependency Start Store Insert Cache Insert 100 ms 20 ms 10 ms End 100 ms

  4. “What-If” Analysis End-to-end What if? latency estimate Service Cloud 900 600 ms Configura App ms tion What if I move the front- end from basic to standard tier? $30 $100 Create a new deployment and measure performance ➢ Expensive ➢ Time consuming ➢ High overhead

  5. WebPerf: “What-If” Analysis End-to-end What if? latency estimate Service Cloud 900 600 ms Configura App ms tion What if I move the front- Deploy with certain end configuration from basic to standard tier? $30 $100 Predict performance under hypothetical configurations ➢ Zero cost ➢ Near real-time ➢ Zero developer effort

  7. WebPerf: Key Insights ● Offline, application-independent profiling is useful ● Modern cloud apps are built using existing services (PaaS) ● Individual services have predictable performance ● S3, Azure Table Storage, Dynamo DB, DocumentDB, … ● Services are co-located inside the same datacenter ● Tighter latency distribution ● Causal dependency within application is independent of the what-if scenarios we consider

  10. Task Asynchronous Pattern (TAP) async processRequest (input) Start task asynchronously { /* process input */ task1 = store.get(key1); Continue after task finishes value1 = await task1; task2 = cache.get(key2); value2 = await task2; /* construct response */ cache.get return response; } store.get Thread3 Thread2 continuation Thread1 continuation

  11. Dependency Graph Extraction ● Design Goals ● Accurate ● Real-time with minimal data collection ● Zero developer effort ● No modifications to the platform ● Low overhead ● Automatic Binary Instrumentation ● Modern cloud applications are highly asynchronous ● Task Asynchronous Programming Pattern

  12. Task Asynchronous Pattern (TAP) ● Asynchronous operations with a synchronous programming pattern ● Increasingly popular for writing cloud applications ● Supported by many major languages ● C#, Java, Python, Javascript ● Most Azure services support TAP as the only mechanism for doing asynchronous I/O ● AWS also provides TAP APIs for .NET

  13. Synchronous Programming processRequest (input) { /* process input */ value1 = store.get(key1); value2 = cache.get(key2); /* construct response */ return response; } store.get cache.get Thread1 Blocking I/O limits server throughput

  14. Asynchronous Programming Model (APM) processRequest (input) { /* process input */ callback2 (value2) store.get(key1, callback1); { } /* construct response */ send(response); callback1 (value1) } { cache.get(key2, callback2); cache.get } Thread3 store.get Thread2 callback2 Thread1 callback1

  15. Task Asynchronous Pattern (TAP) Dependency Graph async processRequest (input) { Start /* process input */ task1 = store.get(key1); value1 = await task1; task1 task2 = cache.get(key2); value2 = await task2; task2 /* construct response */ return response; } End

  16. Task Asynchronous Pattern (TAP) Dependency Graph async processRequest (input) { Start /* process input */ task1 = store.get(key1); task2 = cache.get(key2); task1 task2 value1 = await task1; value2 = await task2; End /* construct response */ return response; }

  17. Task Asynchronous Pattern (TAP) Dependency Graph async processRequest (input) { Start /* process input */ task1 = store.get(key1); task2 = cache.get(key2); task1 task2 value1, value2 = await Task.WhenAll (task1, task2); End /* construct response */ return response; } WhenAll : Continue only when all tasks finish

  18. Task Asynchronous Pattern (TAP) Dependency Graph async processRequest (input) { Start /* process input */ task1 = store.get(key1); task2 = cache.get(key2); task1 task2 value = await Task.WhenAny (task1, task2); End /* construct response */ return response; } WhenAny : Continue after any one of tasks finishes

  19. Automatic Binary Instrumentation class processRequest__ { async processRequest (input) string input; { AsyncTaskMethodBuilder builder; string key1, key2, response; -1 /* process input */ int asyncId = -1; public void MoveNext() task1 = store.get(key1); 0 { value1 = await task1; asyncId = Tracker.AsyncStart(asyncId); Tracker.StateStart(asyncId); task2 = cache.get(key2); 1 switch (state) -1 { value2 = await task2; case -1: state = 0; /* construct response */ continuation /* process input */ return response; var task1 = store.get(key1); 0 Tracker.TaskStart(task1, asyncId); } Instrument state machine builder.Completed(task1.Awaiter, this); Tracker.Await(task1, asyncId); continuation Track tasks and continuations case 0: state = 1; 1 var task2 = cache.get(key1); Tracker.TaskStart(task2, asyncId); builder.Completed(task2.Awaiter, this); Tracker.Await(task2, asyncId); case 1: /* construct response */

  20. Automatic Binary Instrumentation Dependency Graph async processRequest (input) { Start -1 /* process input */ task1 = store.get(key1); 0 value1 = await task1; task1 task2 = cache.get(key2); 1 value2 = await task2; task2 /* construct response */ return response; } Instrument state machine End Track tasks and continuations

  21. Automatic Binary Instrumentation ● Tracking async state machines ● Monitor task start and completion ● Track state machine transitions ● Tracking pull-based continuations ● Link tasks to corresponding awaits ● Link awaits to continuations ● Tracking synchronization points ● Track WhenAll, WhenAny, cascaded task dependencies ● Keeping the overhead low ● Instrument APIs with know signatures ● Instrument only leaf tasks

  22. Dependency graph extraction Dependency Graph ● Highly accurate ● Real-time Start ● Zero developer effort task1 task2 ● Extremely low overhead End [Some Result]

  23. API Profiling ● A profile of a cloud API is a distribution of its latency Is API in ● what-if scenario? No Yes Workload hint given? No Yes Independent Parameterized profiles Baseline profiles profiles (workload-dependent) Application-specific (e.g., Redis) (e.g., SQL) Computed offline, During dependency tracking Or on-demand for reuse 68

  24. API Profiling ● WebPerf builds profiles offline and maintains in a dictionary Profile dictionary ● Starts with common profiles, and builds additional profiles on-demand and reuses them ● Optimal profiling: to minimize measurement costs (details in paper) 69

  25. What-If Engine ● Predicts cloud latency under a given what-if scenario Workload Start Instrumented distributions Convolve App task1 task2 Sync task3 What-if task1 and task4 upgraded? task4 task5 Profile Baseline dictionary End latencies 70

  26. Convolving distributions Start Bottom-up evaluation: task1 task2 T T 2 • WhenAll: ProbMax(t1, t2, …) Sync task3 1 T 3 task4 task5 T • WhenAny: ProbMin(t1, t2, …) 5 T End 4 • WhenDone: ProbAdd(t1, t2, …) 71
