I became the Sun UK local specialist in performance and hardware, and as Sun transitioned from a desktop workstation company to sell high end multiprocessor servers I was helping customers find and fix scalability problems. We had specializations in hardware, operating systems, databases, graphics, etc.

Using zswap means that no new hardware solutions are required, enabling rapid deployment across clusters. The system also collects per-job cold-page histograms for a given set of predefined cold age thresholds. ML-based auto-tuning. Memory pages moved to zswap are compressed (but the compressed pages stay in memory).

Prior to SQL Server 2012, the maximum server memory value only applied to the bufferpool, so customers needed to limit the amount of memory the bufferpool could use to save memory for the operating system and other processes. If you have big physical hardware with defaults, then you should look at optimizing MAXDOP.

Let’s take a look at some of the best error monitoring tools and strategies for 2018. Error monitoring can get increasingly complicated as you deal with bugs reported by users and your production team, which is why having an efficient error tracking workflow from the beginning is so important. What is Error Tracking?

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. The illustrations below are taken from Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) while running this benchmark.

When it goes to production you would monitor it using the various internal tools like New Relic/Grafana, Kibana and if there is a regression you would fix it. We do a production deploy every Wednesday and monitor new relic, exception reports daily for any anomalies. What operating systems do you use? Nginx, HAproxy.
