Hardware Memory The amount of RAM to be provisioned for database servers can vary greatly depending on the size of the database and the specific requirements of the company. Storage The type of storage and disk used for database servers can have a significant impact on performance and reliability.

A message queue is a form of middleware used in software development to enable communications between services, programs, and dissimilar components, such as operating systems and communication protocols. A message queue enables the smooth flow of information to make complex systems work. What is a message queue?

The layers of platforms start at the bottom with hardware choices such as which CPU architectures and vendors you want to use. The next layer is operating system platforms, what flavor of Linux, what version of Windows etc. Netflix made many contributions to open source projects by it’s cloud platform team.

Now that Database-as-a-service (DBaaS) is in high demand, there are multiple questions regarding AWS services that cannot always be answered easily: When should I use Aurora and when should I use RDS MySQL ? What we should really compare is the MySQL and Aurora database engines provided by Amazon RDS.

HammerDB is a software application for database benchmarking. It enables the user to measure database performance and make comparative judgements about database hardware and software. HammerDB has graphical and command line interfaces for the Windows and Linux operating systems. Why HammerDB was developed.

Among the different components of modern software solutions, the database is one of the most critical. There are many times we get asked why some cloud instance performed poorly for their database application and almost always turned out to be some configuration error. Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04

However, this blog is written from the database perspective; hence, I would not prefer to dive into those scenarios as they are very high-level programming concepts. In this section, I will focus on a scenario in the PostgreSQL database that causes segmentation fault. Here, any other path can be used instead of /var/crash.

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

HammerDB is a load testing and benchmarking application for relational databases. All the databases that HammerDB tests implement a form of MVCC (multi-version concurrency control). On high-performance multi-core systems all the supported databases can return performance in the many millions of transactions per minute.

One of the common ways to classify database workloads is whether it is “read intensive” or “write intensive”. Because recognizing if the workload is read intensive or write intensive will impact your hardware choices, database configuration as well as what techniques you can apply for performance optimization and scalability.

Last week we saw the benefits of rethinking memory and pointer models at the hardware level when it came to object storage and compression ( Zippads ). The protections are hardware implemented and cannot be forged in software. And this all has to work for whole-system executions, not just the C-language portion of user processes.
