A MyRocks Use Case

Percona

The use case is the TPC-C benchmark but executed not on a high-end server but on a lower-spec virtual machine that is I/O limited like for example, with AWS EBS volumes. I decided to use a virtual machine with two CPU cores, four GB of memory, and storage limited to a maximum of 1000 IOPs of 16KB. Long term stability.

PostgreSQL Connection Pooling: Part 4 – PgBouncer vs. Pgpool-II

Scalegrid

It uses only one process which makes it very lightweight. If we require N parallel connections, this forks N child processes. By default, there are 32 child processes that are forked. Pgpool-II defines one process per child process. We cannot control which child process a client connects to. Not supported.

The Most Important MySQL Setting

Percona

To illustrate this, I ran the Sysbench-TPCC synthetic benchmark against two different GCP instances running a freshly installed Percona Server for MySQL version 8.0.31 In MySQL, considering the standard storage engine, InnoDB , the data cache is called Buffer Pool. In PostgreSQL, it is called shared buffers.
