I really enjoyed the variety of working with several different customers every day, on different problems, and being part of an extremely innovative and fast growing company. 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.

It was also a virtual machine that lacked low-level hardware profiling capabilities, so I wasn't able to do cycle analysis to confirm that the 10% was entirely frame pointer-based. and we may have been flying close to the edge of hardware cache warmth, where adding a bit more instructions caused a big drop.

Some of the most important elements include: No single point of failure (SPOF): You must eliminate any SPOF in the database environment, including any potential for an SPOF in physical or virtual hardware. Redundancy provides backups and safeguards against data loss in case of hardware failures. there cannot be high availability.

Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. If a primary server fails, a backup server can take over and continue to serve requests.

Systems researchers are doing an excellent job improving the performance of 5-year old benchmarks, but gradually making it harder to explore innovative machine learning research ideas. Worse, the resulting brake on innovation in languages is in itself reducing the incentive for back-end developers to improve on the current situation.

Understanding DBaaS DBaaS cloud services allow users to use databases without configuring physical hardware and infrastructure or installing software. Doing extensive benchmarks will be the subject of a future blog post. In any case, you should benchmark both RDS MySQL and Aurora before taking the decision to migrate.

A close monitoring of the hardware enthusiast community, including many of the most respected hardware analysts and reviewers paints an even more dire picture about Intel in the server processor space. This made it easier for database professionals to make the case for a hardware upgrade, and made the typical upgrade more worthwhile.
