HammerDB uses stored procedures to achieve maximum throughput when benchmarking your database. HammerDB has always used stored procedures as a design decision because the original benchmark was implemented as close as possible to the example workload in the TPC-C specification that uses stored procedures.

Redis® is an in-memory database that provides blazingly fast performance. This makes it a compelling alternative to disk-based databases when performance is a concern. Redis returns a big list of database metrics when you run the info command on the Redis shell. This blog post lists the important database metrics to monitor.

Among the different components of modern software solutions, the database is one of the most critical. There are many times we get asked why some cloud instance performed poorly for their database application and almost always turned out to be some configuration error. For storage, FIO is generally used.

The early days at Sun Cambridge were special, I absorbed a lot about networking and the technical side of the role from my fellow systems engineer Martin Baines, and we were driving all over the region in cool company cars (I had a Citroen BX 16V) selling a really hot product.
The Morning Paper

Last time around we looked at the DeathStarBench suite of microservices-based benchmark applications and learned that microservices systems can be especially latency sensitive, and that hotspots can propagate through a microservices architecture in interesting ways. When available, it can use hardware level performance counters.

This is a question recently asked and explored by a team of Google researchers led by Jeff Dean with a major focus on database indexes. More importantly, if this works out well, this could lead to a radical improvement in performance by leveraging hardware trends such as GPUs and TPUs. Learned indexes.
