In this post we will review the most important Linux settings to adjust for performance tuning and optimization of a MySQL database server. We’ll note how some of the Linux parameter settings used OS tuning may vary according to different system types: physical, virtual or cloud. A Look at MyRocks Performance.

PgBouncer provides a virtual database that reports various useful statistics. Performance Testing. So, we pitted the two connection poolers head-to-head, using the standard pgbench tool, to see which one provides better transactions per second throughput through a benchmark test. Testing Conditions.

I then analyzed performance during the benchmark ([active benchmarking]), and used other benchmarks to confirm findings. Plotting the percent performance loss vs syscall rate per CPU, for my microbenchmark: Applications that have high syscall rates include proxies, databases, and others that do lots of tiny I/O.
