Kubernetes limitations In Linux, by default, performance system events can’t be collected by unprivileged users. This restricts the ability of running profilers to diagnose a performance issue from inside the container. In regular environments, this can be easily worked around by running the profiler with a sudo privilege.

While the technologies have evolved and matured enough, there are still some people thinking that MySQL is only for small projects or that it can’t perform well with large tables. With disks being faster nowadays and CPU and memory resources being cheaper, we could easily say MySQL can handle TBs of data with good performance.

The patches that workaround Meltdown introduce the largest kernel performance regressions I've ever seen. Some older kernels have the KAISER patches for Meltdown, and so far the performance overheads look similar.
