I wrote this post on MyRocks because I believe it is the most interesting new MySQL storage engine to have appeared over the last few years. The use case is the TPC-C benchmark but executed not on a high-end server but on a lower-spec virtual machine that is I/O limited like for example, with AWS EBS volumes. MyRocks Vs InnoDB.

The HammerDB TPROC-C workload by design intended as CPU and memory intensive workload derived from TPC-C – so that we get to benchmark at maximum CPU performance at a much smaller database footprint. more transactions than system B in the fully audited benchmark then the HammerDB result was also 1.5X I.e. if system A generated 1.5X

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 also learned how marketing worked, and began to build my presentation and training skills as I was sent around the world by Sun to teach workshops and speak at events.

Containerized data workloads running on Kubernetes offer several advantages over traditional virtual machine/bare metal based data workloads including but not limited to. faster access to external storage and data locality (I/O, bandwidth). Storage provisioning. But Kubernetes storage is evolving quite quickly.

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. The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) was founded to bring standards to database benchmarking, and the history of the TPC can be found here.

This post at an entry-level discusses the options you have to improve log throughput in your benchmark environment. . The first example shows a data load, the second a TPC-C based workload with 5 virtual users and the 2nd example with 10 virtual users.
