Sometimes developers only care about speed. Some will claim that any type of RPC communication ends up being faster (meaning it has lower latency) than any equivalent invocation using asynchronous messaging. There are more steps, so the increased latency is easily explained. But the answer isn’t that simple.

There will be a considerable gain if we combine this with other sets of great improvements in WAL archiving in PostgreSQL 15, as discussed in previous posts New WAL Archive Module/Library in PostgreSQL 15 and Speed Up of the WAL Archiving in PostgreSQL 15. But this comes with a considerable performance implication.

This is a complex topic, but to borrow from a recent post , web performance expands access to information and services by reducing latency and variance across interactions in a session, with a particular focus on the tail of the distribution (P75+). Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. Meanwhile, budget segment devices have finally started to see improvement ( as this series predicted ), thanks to hand-me-down architecture and process node improvements.

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. Recall that single-core performance most directly translates into speed on the web. Today, either method returns a similar answer. Tap for a larger version. How bad is it?

Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. One distinct trend is a belief that a JavaScript framework and Single-Page Architecture (SPA) is a must for PWA development. JavaScript is the single most expensive part of any page in ways that are a function of both network capacity and device speed. Global Ground-Truth.

Performance issues surrounding Availability Groups typically were related to disk I/O or network speeds. Our customers who deployed Availability Groups were now using servers for primary and secondary replicas with 12+ core sockets and flash storage SSD arrays providing microsecond to low millisecond latencies. one without a replica).

Leveraging pgbench , which is a benchmarking utility that comes bundled with PostgreSQL, I will put the cluster through its paces by executing a series of DML operations. 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.

Many high-end disk subsystems provide high-speed cache facilities to reduce the latency of read and write operations. To learn more about the transaction log architecture, see ​​ “Transaction Log Logical Architecture” in SQL Server Books Online. Weigh these carefully before adjusting the recovery interval.
