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. Just because everything works perfectly during production testing doesn’t mean that will be the case when your website is flooded with traffic.

I remember how, later on, a common question I would get in after giving performance-focused presentations was: “Is any of this going to matter when 4G is available?” Once a new network does get rolled out, it takes years for carriers to optimize it to try and close in on the promised bandwidth and latency benchmarks.

This results in expedited query execution, reduced resource utilization, and more efficient exploitation of the available hardware resources. This reduction in latency ensures that applications and websites provide a more rapid and responsive user experience. This does not apply to read (SELECT) traffic.

DLVs are particularly advantageous for databases with large allocated storage, high I/O per second (IOPS) requirements, or latency-sensitive workloads. We performed a standard benchmarking test using the sysbench tool to compare the performance of a DLV instance vs a standard RDS MySQL instance, as shared in the following section.

For vertical scaling, Memcached allows augmenting existing servers with additional CPU cores and memory, thereby enhancing the capacity of the caching pool to manage higher traffic volumes and larger data loads. High data availability is achieved. Scalable reads across multiple instances are possible.

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. 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. Running this on the two systems saw similar results.

Let us take a look also the latency: Here the situation starts to be a little bit more complicated.

To show that I can criticize my own work as well, here I show that sustained memory bandwidth (using an approximation to the STREAM Benchmark ) is also inadequate as a single figure of metric.

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.

Sadly, data on latency is harder to get, even from Google's perch, so progress there is somewhat more difficult to judge. Hard Reset.
