Therefore, before we attempt to measure our database performance, we should know the system or cloud instance to be tested in detail. As database performance is heavily influenced by the performance of storage, network, memory, and processors, we must understand the upper limit of these key components.

Machine learning systems are stuck in a rut Barham & Isard, HotOS’19. In this paper we argue that systems for numerical computing are stuck in a local basin of performance and programmability. Take a simple example: it would be really nice if we could have named dimensions instead of always having to work with indices.

This removes the burden of purchasing and maintaining your hardware, storage and networking infrastructure, while still giving you a very familiar experience with Windows and SQL Server itself. You will still have to maintain your operating system, SQL Server and databases just like you would in an on-premises scenario.

Thanks to progress in networks and browsers (but not devices), a more generous global budget cap has emerged for sites constructed the "modern" way: ~100KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JS (compressed) is the new rule-of-thumb limit for at least the next year or two. Modern network performance and availability.

It's time once again to update our priors regarding the global device and network situation. HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. What's changed since last year? and 75KiB of JavaScript.

We constrain ourselves to a real-world baseline device + network configuration to measure progress. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. Tools and CI systems help them monitor progress & prevent regressions. Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial. Where to start?
