Among the different components of modern software solutions, the database is one of the most critical. Instead, focus on understanding what the workloads exercise to help us determine how to best use them to aid our performance assessment. Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04 TB)) for storage of database tablespaces and logging.

Even though that remediation task was pretty minor — tweaking some low-level hardware settings on each physical server and rebooting — and could have been done quickly enough, there was intense debate on whether it should be done. In practice (and I’ve done this exercise with teams), this spectrum can provide useful insight.

A resilient system continues to operate successfully in the presence of failures. There are many possible failure modes, and each exercises a different aspect of resilience. Hence, one way to reduce risk is to make systems more observable. This discussion focuses on hardware, software and operational failure modes.
