So in 1988 I joined the Sun sales force and became a Systems Engineer (nowadays we would say Solutions Architect). I became the Sun UK local specialist in performance and hardware, and as Sun transitioned from a desktop workstation company to sell high end multiprocessor servers I was helping customers find and fix scalability problems.

Benchmark before you decide. Some cloud providers also offer specialized instances for database workloads, which may provide additional features and optimizations for performance and scalability. If you see concurrency issues, you can tune this variable. Transparent huge pages (THP) disabled. I hope this helps!

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.”

As is also the case this limitation is at the database level (especially the storage engine) rather than the hardware level. InnoDB is the storage engine that will deliver the best OLTP throughput and should be chosen for this test. . This is to be expected and is due to the limitations of the scalability of the storage engine.

That’s right; I’ve parked day-to-day design work in favor of becoming someone very active in the design community, focusing on best practice design advice and scalable systems. Maybe you worked in partnership with the engineering lead on X to increase the efficiency of Y — I’d love to hear more about this during an interview.

Otherwise, the storage engine does a scatter-gather and queries ALL partitions in a UNION that is not concurrent. As the data is distributed into smaller partitions, the database engine only needs to scan relevant partitions, leading to faster query responses.

This is a guest post by Kalpesh Patel , an Engineer, who for Egnyte from home. For highly scalable services, going outside of java process is costly, even to go to Memcache or Redis so we do in-memory cache with varying TTL for some highly used data structures like access control computation, feature flags, routing metadata etc.
