Latency numbers every programmer should know

L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns             
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy ............. 3,000 ns  =   3 µs
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network ....... 20,000 ns  =  20 µs
SSD random read ........................ 150,000 ns  = 150 µs

Read 1 MB sequentially from memory ..... 250,000 ns = 250 µs

Amazon Web Services (AWS) & Google Cloud Platform (GCP) explained in simple English

This guide is only representative from my point of view and it may not be accurate and you should go on the official AWS & GCP websites for accurate and detailed information. It's initially inspired by AWS in simple English and GCP for AWS professionals. The idea is to compare both services, give simple one-line explanation and examples with other software that might have similiar capabilities. Comment below for suggestions.

Category	Service	AWS	GCP	Description	It's like
Compute	IaaS	Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)	Google Compute Engine	Type-1 virtual servers	VMware ESXi, Citrix XenServer
	PaaS	AWS Elastic Beanstalk	Google App Engine	Running your app on a platform

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

• There are always 24 hours in a day.
• February is always 28 days long.
• Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).
