If we were to select the most important MySQL setting, if we were given a freshly installed MySQL or Percona Server for MySQL and could only tune a single MySQL variable, which one would it be? To be fair, that is also true with PostgreSQL; it hasn’t been tuned either, and it, too, can also perform much better.

By caching hot datasets, indexes, and ongoing changes, InnoDB can provide faster response times and utilize disk IO in a much more optimal way. Storage The type of storage and disk used for database servers can have a significant impact on performance and reliability. If you see concurrency issues, you can tune this variable.

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.

In fact, you should not set it to OFF in a production system unless you are 100% sure about what you are doing and its implications. This may help tune your table level autovacuum settings appropriately. Tuning Autovacuum in PostgreSQL. How do we identify the tables that need their autovacuum settings tuned ? .

So if you want to design a system that will offer good real-world performance, it’s really useful to have benchmarks that accurately represent real-world workloads. This benchmark can synthetically generate more precise key-value queries that represent the reads and writes of key-value stores to the underlying storage system.

Optane DIMMs have lower latency and higher bandwidth than storage devices connected over PCIe (including Optane SSDs), and present a memory address-based interface as opposed to a block-based NVMe interface. Use non-temporal stores for large transfers, and control cache evictions. Optane DIMMs are here!

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. Networks, PCIe busses, CPU interconnects, memory busses, and storage devices (both throughput and IOPS), all have fixed limits. They are: **Performance mantras**. Don't do it.

With these requirements in mind, and a willingness to question the status quo, a small group of distributed systems experts came together and designed a horizontally scalable distributed database that would scale out for both reads and writes to meet the long-term needs of our business.
