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 the network, we can use Iperf to assess the network bandwidth between the client and the database server to ensure it will be enough to meet our peak requirement.

Enter the concept of Content Delivery Networks (CDN) with Multiple Origins Load Balancing. Just like how a traffic cop ensures cars flow smoothly at an intersection, a Load Balancer makes sure data moves efficiently across the network. Each of these is managed by a separate microservice that resides on its own origin server(s).

The cache hit was very low (a topic for another day), and whenever the server had to provide a fresh version of the page, it was taking an unacceptably long time more often than not. Synthetic tests, even properly tuned to match device and network characteristics, only occasionally surfaced the issue.

A co-worker introduced me to Craig Hanson and Pat Crain's performance mantras, which neatly summarize much of what we do in performance analysis and tuning. I've refuted many benchmarks by showing that they would require a network throughput that would far exceed the maximum network bandwidth (off by, for example, as much as 10x!).

Simply put, compression allows the web server to send smaller files to your web site viewers. When someone enters your URL and requests your site, their browser will indicate to the web server that it understands compression (and which type it understands). What is HTTP Compression?

Many of the newer features we have in SQL Server were initially launched in Azure SQL Database, including (but not limited to) Always Encrypted, Dynamic Data Masking, Row Level Security, and Query Store. There is a lot of awesome technology involved with Hyperscale in how it is architected to use SSD-based caches and page servers.

Next, we’ll look at how to set up servers and clients (that’s the hard part unless you’re using a content delivery network (CDN)). This difference by itself doesn’t do all that much (it mainly reduces the overhead on the server-side), but it leads to most of the following points. Server Sharding and Connection Coalescing.

As we will see, QUIC and HTTP/3 indeed have great web performance potential, but mainly for users on slow networks.
