In this blog post, we will discuss the best practices on the MongoDB ecosystem applied at the Operating System (OS) and MongoDB levels. Operating System (OS) settings Swappiness Swappiness is a Linux kernel setting that influences the behavior of the Virtual Memory manager when it needs to allocate a swap, ranging from 0-100.

For example, Azure SQL Database Edge can already use TSQL Predict Machine Learning (ML) and Column Storage. Networking Pump Threads. SQLPAL uses a dynamic set of networking, I/O pump threads to handle network requests. SQLPAL uses a dynamic set of async, I/O pump threads to handle non-network I/O requests.

This removes the burden of purchasing and maintaining your hardware, storage and networking infrastructure, while still giving you a very familiar experience with Windows and SQL Server itself. You will still have to maintain your operating system, SQL Server and databases just like you would in an on-premises scenario.

Byte-addressable non-volatile memory,) NVM will fundamentally change the way hardware interacts, the way operating systems are designed, and the way applications operate on data. The beauty of persistent memory is that we can use memory layouts for persistent data (with some considerations for volatile caches etc.

On the other hand we have good old-fashioned native apps that you install on your operating system (a dying breed? Operations can be handled by reading and writing to the local file system, with data synchronisation happening in the background. It should work without a network. Google Docs, Trello, …).

Stable Media Stable media is often confused with physical storage. SQL Server defines stable media as storage that can survive system restart or common failure. Stable media is commonly physical disk storage, but other devices and certain caching facilities qualify as well.

If you don’t have a device at hand, emulate mobile experience on desktop by testing on a throttled network (e.g. To make the performance impact more visible, you could even introduce 2G Tuesdays or set up a throttled 3G network in your office for faster testing. 150ms RTT, 1.5 Mbps down, 0.7 Mbps up) with a throttled CPU (5× slowdown).

This includes the work done by the server, the client and the intermediary communications networks that transmit data between the two. An obvious metric here is CPU usage, but memory usage and other forms of data storage also play their part. All of the major browsers provide developer tools that allow us to measure network activity.

The following table breaks down the various processing (including download) and uploading phases within an assembler and packager instance operating on large media files.

The success of our early results with the Dynamo database encouraged us to write Amazon's Dynamo whitepaper and share it at the 2007 ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP conference), so that others in the industry could benefit. This was the genesis of the Amazon Dynamo database.

As we are dealing with Docker images, I assume you have downloaded and installed Docker for your operating system. You will require VirtualBox (or a similar VM driver such as xhyve driver or VMware Fusion depending on your operating system) which enables Minikube to run a single-node Kubernetes cluster inside a VM.

High Scalability

It is limited by the disk space; it can’t expand storage elastically; it chokes if you run few I/O intensive processes or try collaborating with 100 other users. Our only option was to roll up our sleeves and build basic cloud file system components such as object store ourselves. Edge caching. Document store. Hybrid Sync.
