Nevertheless, there are related components and processes, for example, virtualization infrastructure and storage systems (see image below), that can lead to problems in your Kubernetes infrastructure. Configuring storage in Kubernetes is more complex than using a file system on your host.

Among the different components of modern software solutions, the database is one of the most critical. There are many times we get asked why some cloud instance performed poorly for their database application and almost always turned out to be some configuration error. For storage, FIO is generally used.

Note that the main developer of HammerDB is Intel employee (#IAMINTEL) however HammerDB is a personal open source project and HammerDB has no optimization whatsoever for a database running on any particular architecture. So to test I took a system with Skylake CPUs and all storage on a P4800X SSD. linux-glibc2.12-x86_64.

Last week we saw the benefits of rethinking memory and pointer models at the hardware level when it came to object storage and compression ( Zippads ). CHERI also rethinks the way that pointers and memory work, but the goal here is memory protection. The protections are hardware implemented and cannot be forged in software. And an afterword!

Hardware Memory The amount of RAM to be provisioned for database servers can vary greatly depending on the size of the database and the specific requirements of the company. Storage The type of storage and disk used for database servers can have a significant impact on performance and reliability.

Now that Database-as-a-service (DBaaS) is in high demand, there are multiple questions regarding AWS services that cannot always be answered easily: When should I use Aurora and when should I use RDS MySQL ? What we should really compare is the MySQL and Aurora database engines provided by Amazon RDS. How do I choose which one to use?

A full backup is a comprehensive data backup strategy that involves creating a complete, exact copy of all data and files in a database. In order to implement effective full backups of your database, you must follow some best practices. Get started today with Percona Backup for MongoDB. What is a full backup?

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

One of the common ways to classify database workloads is whether it is “read intensive” or “write intensive”. Because recognizing if the workload is read intensive or write intensive will impact your hardware choices, database configuration as well as what techniques you can apply for performance optimization and scalability.

Depending on how much dynamic data you have, you might be able to "outsource" some part of the content to a static site generator , pushing it to a CDN and serving a static version from it, thus avoiding database requests.
