Before you begin tuning your website or application, you must first figure out which metrics matter most to your users and establish some achievable benchmarks. Measurements refer to specific data points, such as the number of seconds it takes to process a request. Memory utilization: The amount of memory required to process a request.

Another big jump, but now it was my job to run benchmarks in the lab, and write white papers that explained the new products to the world, as they were launched. I was mostly coding in C, tuning FORTRAN, and when I needed to do a lot of data analysis of benchmark results used the S-PLUS statistics language, that is the predecessor to R.

In data processing it seems, all roads eventually lead back to SQL! In particular, we need to take care to separate the event time from the processing time (which could be some arbitrary time later). We also need to understand that events will not necessarily be presented for processing in event-time order. SIGMOD’19.
