Our distributed tracing infrastructure is grouped into three sections: tracer library instrumentation, stream processing, and storage. An additional implication of a lenient sampling policy is the need for scalable stream processing and storage infrastructure fleets to handle increased data volume. Storage: don’t break the bank!

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. For storage, FIO is generally used. Benchmarking the target Two of the more popular database benchmarks for MySQL are HammerDB and sysbench. 0.42 %sys 9.52
