Gajda ABSTRACT We propose modeling of capacity insensitive distributed systems with latency distributions. We can use a latency of a single packet, and application model to get the latency of the given outcome. Using algebra of latencies we show how to efficiently computate these distributions and evaluate simple distributed systems like broadcast, or n-out-of-k majority voting. It is all implemented and illustrated by Haskell code. OBJECTIVES: Latency modeling is cheap and easy way to model performance of distributed systems. AUDIENCE: Designers of distributed systems in general: whether they are web apps, cryptocoins or swarms of Kubernetes services. --- SPEAKER - Michał J. Gajda Science-based solutions Michał got PhD in structural bioinformatics pipelines, and after two postdocs in top research facilities moved on to use his expertise of data analysis platforms in commerce. After a stint in a bank, and fintech startup, he founded his own company. --- Lambda Days Website: https://www.lambdadays.org​ Twitter: https://twitter.com/LambdaDays​
