With even more resources, you can do live rerouting as your network latency changes between hops. You'll need a decently robust control plane as well as an app that can respond in a timely manner to take advantage though. It only helps at the margins, so not everyone can justify the costs 😅

Back in the day at Twitter, we got good results on network success rates by tweaking lower levels: getting payloads to fit into a single TCP window, playing with compression algos, using a persistent connection, etc Hard to get stat sig in A/B tests for latency change, much easier for success rate

One day, perhaps mobile teams won't over-index on crashes being the end all be all of production problems and try looking for the insidious, frustrating perf problems that aren't so obvious, the silent killers that cause churn in the darkness. Unfortunately, that day is not today.
