Article: Why Turning on HTTP/2 Was a Mistake - Lucidchart - https://www.lucidchart.com/techblog/2019/04/10/why-turning-on-http2-was-a-mistake/ In this video I discuss this article and my opinion. That is not a limitation of HTTP/2 but of the application that couldn't handle the request. It is like driving a volvo all your life and then switching to a Ferrari and saying it was a mistake because its too fast. I disagree with the solutions of throttling the LB and I think the app should either be architected to not send this much requests if possible or just add more servers since HTTP is stateless you should be able to scale. HTTP/2 however does use more cpu it is dealing with many streams. The article doesn’t explain if it was H2 all the way though or not. 0:00 Intro 1:17 HTTP/1.1 Current Architecture 4:00 What happened when They Enabled HTTP/2 AT LB 7:00 Why I disagree with the throttling 8:00 Proposed Solutions 12:15 Why HTTP/2 can be CPU intensive Card at minute 3 playlist http2 🏭 Backend Engineering Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQUNnO4p00ua_C5mKTfldiYT 💾 Database Engineering Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQXjD0HOzN7P2tgzu7scWpl2 🛰 Network Engineering Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQUBSgBXilKhRMJ1ACqr7pTr 🏰 Load Balancing and Proxies Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQVMeBmWI2AhxULWEeo7AaMC 🐘 Postgres Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQWGrOqslniFlRcwxyY94cjj 🚢Docker https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQWsD-rakNw1C20c1JI8UR1r 🧮 Programming Pattern Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQV1emqxKbcP5esAf4zpqWpe 🛡 Web Security Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQU3YDMRSMvzflh_qXoz9zfv 🦠 HTTP Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQU6zO0drAYHFtkkyfNJw1IO 🐍 Python Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQU_M83ARz8mDdr4LThzkBKX 🔆 Javascript Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQWab0g3W6ZaDM6_Buh20EWM 👾Discord Server https://discord.gg/CsFbFce Become a Member https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ML5xP23TOWKUcc-oAE_Eg/join Support me on PayPal https://bit.ly/33ENps4 Become a Patreon https://www.patreon.com/join/hnasr?
