However, increasing hardware capacity doesn’t really solve the problem, and it introduces new ones. And while it’s easy to say “spin up more AWS servers”, you’re only adding to your cloud provider bill. If increasing hardware is the “work harder” answer to header bidding, then “work smarter” is the better option.

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 ? These may be performance, high availability, operational cost, management, capacity planning, scalability, security, monitoring, etc.

Since instances of both CentOS and Ubuntu were running in parallel, I could collect flame graphs at the same time (same time-of-day traffic mix) and compare them side by side. As a Xen guest, this profile was gathered using perf(1) and the kernel's software cpu-clock soft interrupts, not the hardware NMI. But I'm not completely sure.
