At USENIX SREcon22 APAC I gave the opening keynote on the future of computer performance, rounding up the latest developments and making predictions of where I see things heading. This talk originated from my updates to Systems Performance 2nd Edition , and this was the first time I've given this talk in person!

Here’s what APM is, how organizations use APM to manage application performance, the difference between APM tools and APM platforms, and the business benefits an advanced APM platform provides. This acronym can stand for application performance monitoring or application performance management — two distinct but related concepts.

One of the most important concepts in analysing database performance is that of understanding scalability. When a system ‘scales’ it is able to deliver higher levels of performance proportional to the system resources available to it. In this example, we will compare MySQL 5.7.33 and MySQL 8.0.25 and MySQL 5.7.33.
