SQL Server According to Bob

JANUARY 5, 2017

Last March I moved from 22 years in SQL Server support to the SQL Server development team, working on SQL Server on Linux project and reporting to Slava Oks. As Slava highlights in his recent blog post , he also contacted me in early 2015 to assist with supportability of SQL Server on Linux. Image Formats.

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory.

It was heralded as an amazing performance revolution, with exciting new features such as server push, parallel streams, and prioritization. We would have been able to stop bundling resources, stop sharding our resources across multiple servers, and heavily streamline the page-loading process. Why Do We Need HTTP/3?

In 2015, Google published a blog post announcing Brotli and released its source code on GitHub. It took a few months for major CDN players to support Brotli, but meanwhile it was seeing widespread adoption in tools, services, browsers and servers. Maybe that’s why Pied Piper had to continue rigging its servers for more power.

2015-2020: Overhead As part of production rollout I did many performance overhead tests, which I've described publicly before: The overhead of adding frame pointers to everything (libc and Java) was usually less than 1%, with one exception of 10%. Back-end servers. I made that up, AFAIK they don't run Linux, but I may be wrong!)
