SQL Performance

APRIL 27, 2020

Fast forward a few years after Azure SQL Database was released to when Azure SQL Managed Instance was in public preview, and "vCores" (virtual cores) were announced for Azure SQL Database. There is a lot of awesome technology involved with Hyperscale in how it is architected to use SSD-based caches and page servers. vCore Pricing Tier.

The Dynamo paper was well-received and served as a catalyst to create the category of distributed database technologies commonly known today as "NoSQL." " Of course, no technology change happens in isolation, and at the same time NoSQL was evolving, so was cloud computing.

more capable, and built from the ground up for the modern era of the eBPF virtual machine. eBPF was created by Alexei Starovoitov while at PLUMgrid (he's now at Facebook) as a generic in-kernel virtual machine, with software defined networks as the primary use case. It's shaping up to be a DTrace version 2.0: eBPF does more.

Here are 8 fallacies of data pipeline The pipeline is reliable Topology is stateless Pipeline is infinitely scalable Processing latency is minimum Everything is observable There is no domino effect Pipeline is cost­-effective Data is homogeneous The pipeline is reliable The inconvenient truth is that pipeline is not reliable.

Here's some output from my zfsdist tool, in bcc/BPF, which measures ZFS latency as a histogram on Linux: # zfsdist. Tracing ZFS operation latency. Both Xen and KVM have had many performance and security improvements, and workloads can now be tuned to run at almost bare metal speeds (say, a 3% loss or less). Hit Ctrl-C to end. ^C

​​ The larger sector sizes involve newer technology and require API changes at the operating system level. The caching of data pages and grouping of log records helps remove much, if not all, of the command latency associated with a write operation.

Many high-end disk subsystems provide high-speed cache facilities to reduce the latency of read and write operations. For specific information on I/O tuning and balancing, you will find more details in the following document. Dirty Page Latency ​​ – A page is considered dirty when data modifications have taken place.
