Evergreen Continuous Integration: Why We Reinvented The Wheel , blog post from July 27, 2016, explains why and how it was done. These two papers provide many more insights: Automated system performance testing at MongoDB , DBTest 2020 [ Video ]. First, to set up the scene, MongoDB has its own Continuous Integration.

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. Such “torn pages” are corruptions from the database point of view. This is generally referred to as “ partial page writes ” or “ torn pages.” Lz4 is a good example.

They came up with a horizontally scalable NoSQL database. Instead of relational (SQL) databases defined primarily through a hierarchy of related sets via tables and columns, their non-relational structure used a system of collections and documents. 2016: The company adds service-loaded MongoDB Professional to its mix.

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. In 2016, Jio swept over the subcontinent like a monsoon dropping a torrent of 4G infrastructure and free data rather than rain.

From 2007 until 2016, Intel was able to successfully execute their Tick-Tock release strategy, where they would introduce a new processor microarchitecture roughly every two years (a Tock release). This made it easier for database professionals to make the case for a hardware upgrade, and made the typical upgrade more worthwhile.

Both of these Intel processors are special bespoke models that are not in the Intel ARK database. I wrote about using CPU-Z to benchmark the Intel Xeon E5-2673 v3 processor in an Azure VM in this article. The slightly newer Intel Xeon E5-26xx v4 (Broadwell) series which was introduced in Q1 of 2016, increased that to 2400MHz.

As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. All modern browsers are fast, Chromium and Safari/WebKit included. Media Session API.
