I am looking forward to share my thoughts on ‘Reinventing Performance Testing’ at the imPACt performance and capacity conference by CMG held on November 7-10, 2016 in La Jolla, CA. Cloud seriously impacts system architectures that has a lot of performance-related consequences. – Cloud. – Agile.

As software performance degrades or fails, the chaos engineers’ findings enable developers to add resiliency into the code, so the application remains intact in an emergency. Chaos engineering matured at organizations such as Netflix, and gave rise to technologies such as Gremlin (2016) , becoming more targeted and knowledge-based.

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. SQL Server 2016 introduced soft-NUMA nodes.

LTS (April 2016). I wrote about it in a previous post, [DTrace for Linux 2016]. I wrote a page on it: [perf]. - **eBPF**: tracing features completed in 2016, this provides efficient programmatic tracing to existing kernel frameworks. The hardest part on Linux is now done: kernel support. It's the official profiler.

On multi-core machines – which is the majority of the hardware nowadays – and in the cloud, we have multiple cores available for use. In this article, we will look at how this can improve the reporting/analytical query performance in MySQL. Result: ~10x performance gain, no index used. Summary of simple query performance.
