There is no way to model how much more traffic you can send to that system before it exceeds it’s SLA. This is unfortunate, because we’d really like to be able to build systems that have an SLA that we can share with the consumers of our interfaces, and be able to measure how well we are doing.

TL;DR: A lot has changed since 2017 when we last estimated a global baseline resource per-page resource budget of 130-170KiB. A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. The Moto G4 , for example. Here begins our 2021 adventure. Hard Reset.

For years SSRS was bundled with the installation of SQL Server, which helped add to some of the confusion around licensing and support for the product, so beginning with SSRS 2017, the installation package for Reporting Services is a separate download. Unlike the system database tempdb, ReportServerTempDB is not recreated at startup.

Back on December 5, 2017, Microsoft announced that they were using AMD EPYC 7551 processors in their storage-optimized Lv2-Series virtual machines. The L3 cache size is 64MB. The L3 cache size is 64MB. They feature low latency, local NVMe storage that can directly leverage the 128 PCIe 3.0 lanes for I/O connectivity.
