Vertical scaling is also often discussed, which involves increasing the resources of a single server, which can have limitations in hardware capabilities and become costly as demands grow. 2) Hardware limitations Disk and memory are inexpensive nowadays. An example is running MongoDB on Mesos.

The layers of platforms start at the bottom with hardware choices such as which CPU architectures and vendors you want to use. The virtualization and networking platform could be datacenter based, with something like VMware, or cloud based using one of the cloud providers such as AWS EC2.

HA in PostgreSQL databases delivers virtually continuous availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery. No single point of failure (SPOF): If the failure of a database infrastructure component could cause downtime, that component is considered an SPOF. The existence of even one SPOF means high availability has not been achieved.

These systems can include physical servers, containers, virtual machines, or even a device, or node, that connects and communicates with the network. Software and hardware components are autonomous and execute tasks concurrently. State is distributed through the system. Concurrency. Heterogeneity. Fault Tolerance.

Serverless computing can be a huge benefit to organizations that don’t have the necessary resources or teams to manage physical resources, like servers/hardware, and all the maintenance and licensing that goes along with that, allowing them to focus on developing their code and applications. Benefits of a Serverless Model. Scalability.

It helps assess how a site, web application, or API will respond to various traffic, without adding any additional infrastructure. Executing an internal test can tell you how well your application or site handles an increase in traffic, but it will never reflect real-world conditions.

Let’s face it – the ideal load test emulates real world traffic, yet most load testing software doesn’t come close. Held back by budget and infrastructure restrictions, some organizations have been forced to settle for load tests that paint an incomplete picture. It’s all done with the click of a single button.

Testing shows that by using the Fua bit with the data, write request can reduce the I/O traffic by ~50% for a SQL Server, write-intensive workload. The repeated use of a write request followed by a flush request may be detrimental to performance and will increase traffic on the I/O bus. product: Virtual Disk. 4 Socket, TPCC.
