This is where Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) come into play. They cache static content and enable lightning-fast delivery around the globe.This symbiosis reduces server load, boosts loading times, and ensures efficient content distribution. Since dynamic range is generated on-the-fly, it may have limited caching potential.

Therefore, before we attempt to measure our database performance, we should know the system or cloud instance to be tested in detail. 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.

Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. Some disruption might occur, but it will be minimal. Fault tolerance aims for zero downtime and data loss.
