While infrastructure has historically been treated as a bottleneck where proper scaling and compute power are applied to improve performance, these aspects are now typically addressed by hyperscalers that offer cloud-based infrastructure and infrastructure as a service. You can read all about it in our Configuration as Code documentation.

This is basically the position of the major cloud providers, they will all take care of it for you by 2030 or so. A rough guide if you don’t have any better data is that with no traffic to a system it will be 10% utilization and use 30% of peak power, 25% utilization uses 50% of peak power, and at 50% utilization it uses 75% of peak power.

Dangerous , because if you set this to a thread when using connection pooling OR ProxySQL and multiplexing, you may end up assigning a limitation to queries that instead, you wanted to run efficiently. Then we need to see IF implementing the tuning will work or not. Another cool useless feature??? Will this work?

Blocking write traffic by locking tables. Writing events to any output.
