Computer systems, from the Internet-of-Things devices to datacenters, are complex and optimizing them can enhance capability and save money. Developing simulators, however, is time-consuming and requires a great deal of infrastructure development regarding a prospective system. Answered in Part 2.).

Before we dive into the differences between MariaDB and MySQL, we will provide a thorough examination of each relational database management system (RDBMS). While originally designed to be a drop-in replacement for MySQL, it evolved into its own distinct database management system and is now maintained and supported by the MariaDB Foundation.

The problem is that this system has a default libc that has been compiled without frame pointers, so any stack walking stops at the libc layer, producing a partial stack that's missing the application frames. This is pretty common and usually goes unnoticed as the flame graph looks ok at first glance. This can be done using eBPF as well.
