In order to maintain performance, benchmarking is a vital part of our system’s lifecycle.

Introduction Caching serves a dual purpose in web development – speeding up client requests and reducing server load. This article will explore how they handle data storage and scalability, perform in different scenarios, and, most importantly, how these factors influence your choice.

These have inspired me to summarize another performance activity: evaluating benchmark accuracy. Accurate benchmarking rewards engineering investment that actually improves performance, but, unfortunately, inaccurate benchmarking is more common. If the benchmark reported 20k ops/sec, you should ask: why not 40k ops/sec?

This difference has substantial technological implications, from the classification of what’s interesting to transport to cost-effective storage (keep an eye out for later Netflix Tech Blog posts addressing these topics). As you can imagine, this comes with very real storage costs. Is this an anomaly or are we dealing with a pattern?

This will be clearly visible in PostgreSQL performance benchmarks as a “ Sawtooth wave ” pattern observed by Vadim in his tests: As we can see, the throughput suddenly drops after every checkpoint due to heavy WAL writing and gradually picks up until the next checkpoint. But this comes with a considerable performance implication.

Sometimes developers only care about speed. Some will claim that any type of RPC communication ends up being faster (meaning it has lower latency) than any equivalent invocation using asynchronous messaging. There are more steps, so the increased latency is easily explained. But the answer isn’t that simple.

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. Meanwhile, developer behaviour offers little hope: Median mobile JavaScript payloads have only grown since 2016, now hovering above 400KiB of script transferred, or nearly 2.5MiB of uncompressed JS.

One of the most surprising results has been the frequent occurrence of “ambush by JavaScript” : We need a new term for the business-opportunity wastage that modern front-end development has created. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial.

Stable media is commonly physical disk storage, but other devices and certain caching facilities qualify as well. See the article for more details. SQL Server 7.0
