HammerDB doesn’t publish competitive database benchmarks, instead we always encourage people to be better informed by running their own. So over at Phoronix some database benchmarks were published showing PostgreSQL 12 Performance With AMD EPYC 7742 vs. Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 Benchmarks .

It can be measured based on real data from users visiting your sites ( field metric ) or in a lab environment ( lab metric ). In fact, several user-centric metrics are used to quantify web vitals. While most of the tools covered below only rely on field metrics, others use a mix of both field and lab metrics.

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.”

What do the different metrics mean? While the focus in most cases tends to be directed toward front-end developers, it's important to remember the back-end as well if you see higher than normal start render times or increases in more basic metrics like time to first byte. What do the different metrics mean? Let's get started.

At AWS re:Invent in 2018, the Lambda team presented an excellent talk. To handle N parallel requests, N Lambda instances need to be available, and AWS will spin up up to 1000 such instances automatically to handle 1000 parallel requests. A cold start occurs when there’s no instance of the requested Lambda function available.

My definition of a performance budget has evolved over the years, but here’s my current working draft: A performance budget is a clearly defined limit on one or more performance metrics that the team agrees not to exceed, and that is used to guide design and development. Meaningful. Maybe that’s conversion rate or bounce rate.

Teams I've consulted are too often wrenched between celebration over "the big rewrite" launch and the morning-after realisation that the new stack is tanking business metrics. Competent managers will begin to look for more general "industry standard" baseline metrics to report against their data. Photo by Jay Heike.
