For optimum performance, a PostgreSQL database depends on the operating system parameters being defined correctly. Poorly configured OS kernel parameters can cause degradation in database server performance. PostgreSQL uses System V (SysV) that requires SHMMAX setting. This results in improved performance.

In this blog post, we will discuss the best practices on the MongoDB ecosystem applied at the Operating System (OS) and MongoDB levels. The main objective of this post is to share my experience over the past years tuning MongoDB and centralize the diverse sources that I crossed in this journey in a unique place.

But for this to be realized in a practical manner, the system has to (1) be able to accurately control its aggressiveness to minimize the impact on application performance, and (2) be resilient to the variation of cold memory behavior across different machines,clusters, and jobs. Enter zswap!

What I find is very similar to backups: No DBCC CHECKDBs performed at all DBCC CHECKDBs being performed only on select databases DBCC CHECKDBs last performed months or years ago. Performing index maintenance by removing fragmentation from your indexes is still important. Index Maintenance.

As the chart shows because we know that both HammerDB and the implementation of the TPC-C workload scales then we can determine that with this particular database engine both the software and hardware scales as well. If you only test your own application (and if you have more than one application which one will you use for benchmarking?)

Error tracking is a vital component to any web project because it helps you pinpoint performance problems before they get out of hand. Not all back-end errors affect the user experience, but keeping track of them can prove helpful when tuning your app. Front-end errors include UI glitches, slow performance and broken interfaces.

For e.g., if accessing file system over WebDAV or FTP has performance issues, and it will take 4 hours to fix, then for those 4 hours, you can just kill FTP/WebDAV at kong/firewall and ask customers to use web UI or other mechanisms to work. Who performs what roles? What operating systems do you use?
