Another big jump, but now it was my job to run benchmarks in the lab, and write white papers that explained the new products to the world, as they were launched. I was mostly coding in C, tuning FORTRAN, and when I needed to do a lot of data analysis of benchmark results used the S-PLUS statistics language, that is the predecessor to R.

Linux OS Tuning for MySQL Database Performance. In this post we will review the most important Linux settings to adjust for performance tuning and optimization of a MySQL database server. We’ll note how some of the Linux parameter settings used OS tuning may vary according to different system types: physical, virtual or cloud.

This blog article traces key developments that coincided with MongoDB’s move away from open source software, and it examines how SSPL influence might have lured others in the same direction. It was welcomed by many, especially developers, whose language tends to be of objects and structures, not of rows and columns.

And today, we still have type in a digital context, but it travels through cables, wirelessly on smartphones, and in virtual reality glasses in 3D. Perhaps, we should consider developing a central list of the elements, research, data, sources, and aspects to create legible and usable typefaces, so we can easily choose? Stay tuned!

HammerDB doesn’t publish competitive database benchmarks, instead we always encourage people to be better informed by running their own. ” Usually when benchmark results are surprising it is a major hint that something could be misconfigured and that certainly seems the case here, so what could it be?

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

Local development is harder. As such, providing the same environment during local development can be complicated. As for the development stage, Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment is what you should be looking at. These served as our benchmark when creating our Lambda monitoring extension.
