Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

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.

Now that Database-as-a-service (DBaaS) is in high demand, there are multiple questions regarding AWS services that cannot always be answered easily: When should I use Aurora and when should I use RDS MySQL ? What we should really compare is the MySQL and Aurora database engines provided by Amazon RDS.

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.

A close monitoring of the hardware enthusiast community, including many of the most respected hardware analysts and reviewers paints an even more dire picture about Intel in the server processor space. This made it easier for database professionals to make the case for a hardware upgrade, and made the typical upgrade more worthwhile.

This is the second generation EPYC server processor that uses the same Zen 2 architecture as the AMD Ryzen 3000 Series desktop processors. Single-Socket Database Servers. It will also use less power than a two-socket Intel server, with a lower hardware cost, and potentially lower licensing costs (for things like VMware).

Similarly for this guide MySQL can be swapped for a mySQL based databases such as MariaDB. As is also the case this limitation is at the database level (especially the storage engine) rather than the hardware level. As is exactly the same with PostgreSQL for system choice a 2 socket system is optimal for MySQL OLTP performance.

Rather than listing the concepts, function calls, etc, available in Citus, which frankly is a bit boring, I’m going to explore scaling out a database system starting with a single host. And now, execute the benchmark: -- execute the following on the coordinator node pgbench -c 20 -j 3 -T 60 -P 3 pgbench The results are not pretty.

Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. Using a global ASP as a benchmark can further mislead thanks to the distorting effect of ultra-high-end prices rising while shipment volumes stagnate. But the hardware future is not evenly distributed, and web workloads aren't heavily parallel. Today, either method returns a similar answer.

When we released Always On Availability Groups in SQL Server 2012 as a new and powerful way to achieve high availability, hardware environments included NUMA machines with low-end multi-core processors and SATA and SAN drives for storage (some SSDs). As we moved towards SQL Server 2014, the pace of hardware accelerated.
