How would you integrate some new fancy processing library into MySQL without having to recreate the complexities in pure SQL? The first file is for cmake which informs the overall build process that it should include, and compile our plugin. $ You can build within the extracted source tree, but this goes against best practices.

Another big jump, but now it was my job to run benchmarks in the lab, and write white papers that explained the new products to the world, as they were launched. I was mostly coding in C, tuning FORTRAN, and when I needed to do a lot of data analysis of benchmark results used the S-PLUS statistics language, that is the predecessor to R.

Partitioning is a way in which a database (MySQL in this case) splits its actual data down into separate tables but still gets treated as a single table by the SQL layer. As the data is distributed into smaller partitions, the database engine only needs to scan relevant partitions, leading to faster query responses.

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. top(1) showed that only the Cassandra database was consuming CPU. What about short-lived processes, like a service restarting in a loop? A quick check of basic performance statistics showed over 30% higher CPU consumption.

In this blog post, we discuss an approach to optimize the MySQL index creation process in such a way that your regular workload is not impacted. During this time, you are also likely to experience a degraded performance of queries as your system resources are busy in index-creation work as well. MySQL Rolling Index Creation.

Perhaps you're building a runtime procedure from steps stored in config files or a database. Message signing/encryption, compression, validation, and database session management are all easy to implement with an NServiceBus behavior. It gets even worse when you don't even know exactly what the code is supposed to do until runtime.

So, if we created an overview of all the things we have to keep in mind when improving performance — from the very start of the process until the final release of the website — what would that list look like? Also, as Patrick Meenan suggested, it’s worth to plan out a loading sequence and trade-offs during the design process.
