Regardless of whether the computing platform to be evaluated is on-prem, containerized, virtualized, or in the cloud, it is crucial to consider several essential factors. 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.

High Availability vs. Fault Tolerance: Is FT’s 00.001% Edge in Uptime Worth the Headache?

Percona

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. Without enough infrastructure (physical or virtualized servers, networking, etc.), there cannot be high availability.

As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. Chrome has missed several APIs for 3+ years: Storage Access API. Gamepad API.
