While there is no magic bullet for MySQL performance tuning, there are a few areas that can be focused on upfront that can dramatically improve the performance of your MySQL installation. What are the Benefits of MySQL Performance Tuning? A finely tuned database processes queries more efficiently, leading to swifter results.

Out of the box, the default PostgreSQL configuration is not tuned for any particular workload. It has default settings for all of the database parameters. It is primarily the responsibility of the database administrator or developer to tune PostgreSQL according to their system’s workload.

The size of the database and your database environment—if it is on colo or cloud—matters. Having a backup strategy in place that takes regular backups and has secure storage is essential to protect the database in an enterprise-grade environment to ensure its availability in the event of failures or disasters.

The main objective of this post is to share my experience over the past years tuning MongoDB and centralize the diverse sources that I crossed in this journey in a unique place. The Linux default is usually 60 , which is not ideal for database usage. Spoiler alert: This post focuses on MongoDB 3.6.X

Partitioning is a way in which a database (MySQL in this case) splits its actual data down into separate tables but still gets treated as a single table by the SQL layer. Otherwise, the storage engine does a scatter-gather and queries ALL partitions in a UNION that is not concurrent. So, What is MySQL Partitioning?

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.
