When deciding what to pick, there are many things to consider, like where the proxy needs to be, if it “just” needs to redirect the connections, or if more features need to be in, like caching and filtering, or if it needs to be integrated with some MySQL embedded automation. Given that, there never was a single straight answer.

The ProRes codec family provides great editing performance and image quality. Uploading and downloading data always come with a penalty, namely latency. Furthermore, the goal for writes is not to build a general purpose system that supports arbitrary writers, but rather one that maximizes potential packager performance.

I’ve used a fourth instance to host a PMM server to monitor servers A and B and used the data collected by the PMM agents installed on the database servers to compare performance. To be fair, that is also true with PostgreSQL; it hasn’t been tuned either, and it, too, can also perform much better. Why is that?

Likewise, object access paths must be heavily multi-threaded and avoid lock contention to minimize access latency and maximize throughput.
