Regardless of whether the computing platform to be evaluated is on-prem, containerized, virtualized, or in the cloud, it is crucial to consider several essential factors. Therefore, before we attempt to measure our database performance, we should know the system or cloud instance to be tested in detail. Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04

PMM2 uses VictoriaMetrics (VM) as its metrics storage engine. Virtual Memory utilization was averaging 48 GB of RAM. VictoriaMetrics maintains an in-memory cache for mapping active time series into internal series IDs. The CPU usage averaged 24% utilization, as you can see in the above picture.

But since retrieving data from disk is slow, databases tend to work with a caching mechanism to keep as much hot data, the bits and pieces that are most often accessed, in memory. In MySQL, considering the standard storage engine, InnoDB , the data cache is called Buffer Pool. In PostgreSQL, it is called shared buffers.

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.

In both cases, when using virtually-synchronous replication, the process will require certification from each node and local (by node) write; as such, the number of writes is NOT distributed across multiple nodes but duplicated.
