Making applications observable—relying on metrics, logs, and traces to understand what software is doing and how it’s performing—has become increasingly important as workloads are shifting to multicloud environments. We also introduced our demo app and explained how to define the metrics and traces it uses. How can we verify that?

If we were to select the most important MySQL setting, if we were given a freshly installed MySQL or Percona Server for MySQL and could only tune a single MySQL variable, which one would it be? To be fair, that is also true with PostgreSQL; it hasn’t been tuned either, and it, too, can also perform much better.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).
