Server caches help lower the latency between a Frontend and Backend; since key-value databases are faster than traditional relational SQL databases, it will significantly increase an API’s response time.

The choice of self-managed cloud databases vs DBaaS is a common debate among those who are looking for the best option that will cater to their particular needs. Database as a Service (DBaaS) and managed databases offer distinct advantages along with certain challenges.

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.

Transforming an application from monolith to microservices-based architecture can be daunting, and knowing where to start can be difficult. Because monolithic applications combine database, client-side interfaces, and server-side application elements in a single executable, they’re difficult to understand, even for their own administrators.

To make data count and to ensure cloud computing is unabated, companies and organizations must have highly available databases. A basic high availability database system provides failover (preferably automatic) from a primary database node to redundant nodes within a cluster. HA is sometimes confused with “fault tolerance.”

Estimates vary, but most reports put the average cost of unplanned database downtime at approximately $300,000 to $500,000 per hour, or $5,000 to $8,000 per minute. With so much at stake, database high availability and fault tolerance have become must-have items, but many companies just aren’t certain which one they must have.

Why RPC is “faster” It’s tempting to simply write a micro-benchmark test where we issue 1000 requests to a server over HTTP and then repeat the same test with asynchronous messages. If you did such a benchmark, here’s an incomplete picture you might end up with: Graph of microbenchmark showing RPC is faster than messaging.

Such “torn pages” are corruptions from the database point of view. This is not a problem for PostgreSQL alone; every database software needs to deal with this problem. Lz4 compression can be the choice if the database workload is CPU bound because it is light on the CPU. The actual benefit of compression depends on many factors.

One of the common ways to classify database workloads is whether it is “read intensive” or “write intensive”. Because recognizing if the workload is read intensive or write intensive will impact your hardware choices, database configuration as well as what techniques you can apply for performance optimization and scalability.
