High Scalability

APRIL 3, 2019

PostgreSQL is an open source object-relational database system that has soared in popularity over the past 30 years from its active, loyal, and growing community. For the 2nd year in a row, PostgreSQL has kept the title of #1 fastest growing database in the world according to the DBMS of the Year report by the experts at DB-Engines.

With the Percona Database Performance Blog, Percona staff and leadership work hard to provide the open source community with insights, technical support, predictions and metrics around multiple open source database software technologies. So I started a couple of instances to test Percona Server for MySQL under this CPU.

Hardware optimization : You need to ensure that the CPU, memory, and storage components meet the performance requirements of the database workload. PostgreSQL performance optimization is an ongoing process involving monitoring, benchmarking, and adjustments to maintain high-performing PostgreSQL databases.

Hardware Memory The amount of RAM to be provisioned for database servers can vary greatly depending on the size of the database and the specific requirements of the company. Some servers may need a few GBs of RAM, while others may need hundreds of GBs or even terabytes of RAM. Benchmark before you decide. I hope this helps!

HammerDB is a software application for database benchmarking. Databases are highly sophisticated software, and to design and run a fair benchmark workload is a complex undertaking. The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) was founded to bring standards to database benchmarking, and the history of the TPC can be found here.

Load balancing : Requests are evenly distributed across multiple database servers, ensuring the system remains operational even if one server fails. Automated failover : To keep the database operational and minimize downtime, it automatically switches to a backup server if the primary server fails.

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

This will be clearly visible in PostgreSQL performance benchmarks as a “ Sawtooth wave ” pattern observed by Vadim in his tests: As we can see, the throughput suddenly drops after every checkpoint due to heavy WAL writing and gradually picks up until the next checkpoint. But this comes with a considerable performance implication.
