A quick configuration change may do the trick in improving the performance of your AWS RDS for MySQL instance. Here, we will discuss a notable new feature in Amazon RDS, the Dedicated Log Volume (DLV), that has been introduced to boost database performance. Who can benefit from DLV? and later v10 versions MySQL: 8.0.28

A small percentage of production traffic is redirected to the two new clusters, allowing us to monitor the new version’s performance and compare it against the current version. Canaries also provide an opportunity to measure system performance under different load conditions, allowing us to identify and resolve any performance bottlenecks.

The ProRes codec family provides great editing performance and image quality. From chunk encoding to assembly and packaging, the result of each previous processing step must be uploaded to cloud storage and then downloaded by the next processing step. Uploading and downloading data always come with a penalty, namely latency.

Compression in any database is necessary as it has many advantages, like storage reduction, data transmission time, etc. Storage reduction alone results in significant cost savings, and we can save more data in the same space. Block compression can improve performance by allowing data to be read and written in smaller chunks.

I’ve used a fourth instance to host a PMM server to monitor servers A and B and used the data collected by the PMM agents installed on the database servers to compare performance. To be fair, that is also true with PostgreSQL; it hasn’t been tuned either, and it, too, can also perform much better. Why is that?

Some will claim that any type of RPC communication ends up being faster (meaning it has lower latency) than any equivalent invocation using asynchronous messaging. It’s less of an apples-to-oranges comparison and more like apples-to-orange-sherbet. There are more steps, so the increased latency is easily explained.

The resulting system can integrate seamlessly into a scikit-learn based development process, and dramatically reduces the total energy usage required for classification with very low latency. Together this set of four operations allow us to deliberately engineer “race conditions” in a circuit to perform computation at low energy.
