This begins not only in designing the algorithm or coming out with efficient and robust architecture but right onto the choice of programming language. One, by researching on the Internet; Two, by developing small programs and benchmarking. Most of us, as we spend years in our jobs — tend to be proficient in at least one of these.

The best way to fight regressions is to create performance budgets on key metrics, and get alerted when they go out of bounds. These charts let even the most non-technical stakeholder easily see the correlation between performance and user engagement and business metrics, such as bounce rate and conversion rate.

HammerDB is a software application for database benchmarking. Databases are highly sophisticated software, and to design and run a fair benchmark workload is a complex undertaking. However, although these results are the gold standard of database benchmarking to do so, requires time, expertise and not insignificant cost.
