Evergreen Continuous Integration: Why We Reinvented The Wheel , blog post from July 27, 2016, explains why and how it was done. The paper Creating a Virtuous Cycle in Performance Testing at MongoDB and pre-recoded video are already available. First, to set up the scene, MongoDB has its own Continuous Integration.

SQL Server According to Bob

SEPTEMBER 26, 2016

When we released Always On Availability Groups in SQL Server 2012 as a new and powerful way to achieve high availability, hardware environments included NUMA machines with low-end multi-core processors and SATA and SAN drives for storage (some SSDs). This chart shows our scaled results using a OLTP workload derived from TPC benchmarks.

Content, genre and languages Instead of augmenting or synthesizing training data, we sample the large scale data available in the Netflix catalog with noisy labels. Training examples were produced between 2016 and 2019, in 13 countries, with 60% of the titles originating in the USA. We address the challenge from a different angle.

This was a keynote presentation at the “2nd International Workshop on Performance Modeling: Methods and Applications” (PMMA16), June 23, 2016, Frankfurt, Germany (in conjunction with ISC16 ). Over time, the mechanisms introduced for reducing energy consumption (first in laptops) became available more broadly.

Percona

Some of the built-in features ( wal_compression ) have been there since 2016, and almost all backup tools do the WAL compression before taking it to the backup repository. They do a much better job than what was available in PostgreSQL (pglz). But this comes with a considerable performance implication.

Let’s start with this: MongoDB is accurately referred to as source-available software. 2016: The company adds service-loaded MongoDB Professional to its mix. Though still not “profitable” by many benchmarks, it’s a lot closer to being so, perhaps in a big way.) 2017: MongoDB goes public, trading as MDB.

Back in 2016, I gave a talk outlining the causes and effects of the terrible performance of web apps built using popular tools on the fastest-growing device segment: low-end to mid-range Android phones. Modern network performance and availability. The cheapest (high volume) Androids perform like 2012/2013 iPhones, respectively.
