As database performance is heavily influenced by the performance of storage, network, memory, and processors, we must understand the upper limit of these key components. For the network, we can use Iperf to assess the network bandwidth between the client and the database server to ensure it will be enough to meet our peak requirement.

Size matters especially to mobile users who have limited and/or metered data. Clearly we need to keep talking about it.

It's time once again to update our priors regarding the global device and network situation. Until and unless teams have better data about their performance, the global baseline budget should be enforced. What's changed since last year? And how much more HTML, CSS, and (particularly) JavaScript can a new project afford?

HammerDB is a load testing and benchmarking application for relational databases. This helps to minimise locking allowing multiple sessions to access the same data at the same time. However, it is crucial that the benchmarking application does not have inherent bottlenecks that artificially limits the scalability of the database.
