If we had an ID for each streaming session then distributed tracing could easily reconstruct session failure by providing service topology, retry and error tags, and latency measurements for all service calls. Our engineering teams tuned their services for performance after factoring in increased resource utilization due to tracing.

Before you begin tuning your website or application, you must first figure out which metrics matter most to your users and establish some achievable benchmarks. Wait time: Sometimes called average latency, wait time refers the amount of time a request spends in a queue before it gets processed. What is Performance Testing?

A co-worker introduced me to Craig Hanson and Pat Crain's performance mantras, which neatly summarize much of what we do in performance analysis and tuning. These have inspired me to summarize another performance activity: evaluating benchmark accuracy. If the benchmark reported 20k ops/sec, you should ask: why not 40k ops/sec?

If we were to select the most important MySQL setting, if we were given a freshly installed MySQL or Percona Server for MySQL and could only tune a single MySQL variable, which one would it be? To be fair, that is also true with PostgreSQL; it hasn’t been tuned either, and it, too, can also perform much better.

Nowadays, solid-state drives (SSDs) or non-volatile memory express (NVMe) drives are preferred over traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) for database servers due to their faster read and write speeds, lower latency, and improved reliability. Benchmark before you decide. If you see concurrency issues, you can tune this variable.

This post at an entry-level discusses the options you have to improve log throughput in your benchmark environment. . Additionally for the log disk component it is latency for an individual write that is crucial rather than the total I/O bandwidth. A good example of how tuning is an iterative process.
