In this video I migrate a Postgres DB running PGbench benchmark. The variation in the transaction rate is due to the benchmark itself, the transaction rate is not expected to be uniform. The aim of the experiment was to see how data-locality might affect a running database workload, not to generate the maximum TPS.

In 1991 I wrote a white paper on performance that was widely read, and in 1993 (with help from Brian Wong) that got me a job in the USA, working alongside Brian for Mike Briggs in technical product marketing. We had specializations in hardware, operating systems, databases, graphics, etc. Jim also joined the database performance team.

One thing is clear: when planning for the consumer experience to be simple and easy to use, the backend infrastructure and performance becomes much more complicated. Whatever size of company you are, performance monitoring and testing is a critical part of the success you will have. Apica’s scale is enterprise-grade.

For our purposes we are going to use Postgres DB and the built-in benchmarking tool PGbench. This time though the metric is Database transactions per second not IOPS or Storage throughput. X-Ray can run Ansible scripts on the X-Ray worker VMs, and by doing so we are able to provision almost any application. X-Ray interface to pgbench.

PgBouncer defines one pool per user+database combination. A client benefits from a pooled connection only if it connects to a child which has previously served a connection for this database+user combination. PgBouncer allows limiting connections per-pool, per-database, per-user or per-client. Performance Testing.

Getting up and running was simple and we don't have to worry about managing and maintaining queue databases anymore. When we attempted to do performance testing of the new transport to compare it to the legacy transport, we discovered that it is essentially impossible to run benchmarks on the Standard Tier.

Creating a HCI benchmark to simulate multi-tennent workloads. It is very common to have large resource-hungry databases separated across nodes using anti-affinity rules. We supply a pre-configured scenario which we call the DB Colocation test. Time based benchmark actions. Distinct per-VM workload patterns.

Much of my testing was on Linux 4.14.11 Some older kernels have the KAISER patches for Meltdown, and so far the performance overheads look similar. I then analyzed performance during the benchmark ([active benchmarking]), and used other benchmarks to confirm findings. and 4.14.12 In more detail: ## 1.

By having appropriate indexes on your MySQL tables, you can greatly enhance the performance of SELECT queries. 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.

Alternatively, you can also use Speed Scorecard (also provides a revenue impact estimator), Real User Experience Test Comparison or SiteSpeed CI (based on synthetic testing). Now you have something measurable to test against.
