How to Assess MySQL Performance

HammerDB

Instead, focus on understanding what the workloads exercise to help us determine how to best use them to aid our performance assessment. Therefore, before we attempt to measure our database performance, we should know the system or cloud instance to be tested in detail. Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04 Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04

An analysis of performance evolution of Linux’s core operations

The Morning Paper

The authors selected a set of diverse application workloads, as shown in the table below, and analysed their execution to find out the system call frequency and total execution time. A micro-benchmark suite, LEBench was then built around tee system calls responsible for most of the time spent in the kernel.

Evaluating the Evaluation: A Benchmarking Checklist

Brendan Gregg

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?

Real user monitoring vs. synthetic monitoring: Understanding best practices

Dynatrace

However, not all user monitoring systems are created equal. In some cases, you will lack benchmarking capabilities. For example, real-user monitoring metrics might reveal a user performance issue that you can then apply to synthetic testing to replicate the issue by exercising the same transaction across several different variables.

The top 5 reasons to run your own database benchmarks

HammerDB

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.”

In some sense it's a confidence-management exercise. Distinguishing Traits # Shipped to many OSes Tiny platform teams (<20 people or <10% of the total team) Little benchmark interest or focus No platform feature leadership No standards footprint Platform feature availability lags the underlying engine (e.g.,
