Database Benchmarking and Stress Testing: An Evidence-Based Approach to Decisions on Architecture and Technology

Buy
Provide evidence-based answers that can be measured and relied upon by your business. Database administrators will be able to make sound architectural decisions in a fast-changing landscape of virtualized servers and container-based solutions based on the empirical method presented in this book for answering “what if” questions about database performance.

Today’s database administrators face numerous questions such as: 
  • What if we consolidate databases using multitenant features? 
  • What if we virtualize database servers as Docker containers? 
  • What if we deploy the latest in NVMe flash disks to speed up IO access?
  • Do features such as compression, partitioning, and in-memory OLTP earn back their price? 
  • What if we move our databases to the cloud?
As an administrator, do you know the answers or even how to test the assumptions?

Database Benchmarking and Stress Testing introduces you to database benchmarking using industry-standard test suites such as the TCP series of benchmarks, which are the same benchmarks that vendors rely upon. You’ll learn to run these industry-standard benchmarks and collect results to use in answering questions about the performance impact of architectural changes, technology changes, and even down to the brand of database software. You’ll learn to measure performance and predict the specific impact of changes to your environment. You’ll know the limitations of the benchmarks and the crucial difference between benchmarking and workload capture/reply. 


This book teaches you how to create empirical evidence in support of business and technology decisions. It’s about not guessing when you should be measuring. Empirical testing is scientific testing that delivers measurable results. Begin with a hypothesis about the impact of a possible architecture or technology change. Then run the appropriate benchmarks to gather data and predict whether the change you’re exploring will be beneficial, and by what order of magnitude. Stop guessing. Start measuring. Let Database Benchmarking and Stress Testing show the way.



What You'll Learn
  • Understand the industry-standard database benchmarks, and when each is best used
  • Prepare for a database benchmarking effort so reliable results can be achieved
  • Perform database benchmarking for consolidation, virtualization, and cloud projects
  • Recognize and avoid common mistakes in benchmarking database performance
  • Measure and interpret results in a rational, concise manner for reliable comparisons
  • Choose and provide advice on benchmarking tools based on their pros and cons


Who This Book Is For


Database administrators and professionals responsible for advising on architectural decisions such as whether to use cloud-based services, whether to consolidate and containerize, and who must make recommendations on storage or any other technology that impacts database performance

Web Application Architecture: Principles, Protocols and Practices
Web Application Architecture: Principles, Protocols and Practices
It is no longer enough for Web application developers to be proficient in just one platform. As platforms grow and evolve and new ones arise, developers must be able to transfer their proficiency across platforms in order to design, develop and debug complex Web applications effectively. This book uncovers the underlying core technologies that...
Using R for Introductory Statistics (Chapman & Hall/CRC The R Series)
Using R for Introductory Statistics (Chapman & Hall/CRC The R Series)

The cost of statistical computing software has precluded many universities from installing these valuable computational and analytical tools. R, a powerful open-source software package, was created in response to this issue. It has enjoyed explosive growth since its introduction, owing to its coherence, flexibility, and free availability....

Resource Allocation in Multiuser Multicarrier Wireless Systems
Resource Allocation in Multiuser Multicarrier Wireless Systems
Many algorithms have already been proposed in the past to solve the problem of allocating resources in a multi-user multicarrier wireless system. Due to the difficulty of the problem, most of the previous work in this area has focused on developing suboptimal heuristics without performance guarantees.

Resource Allocation in Multiuser...

By taking you through the development of a real web application from beginning to end, the second edition of this hands-on guide demonstrates the practical advantages of test-driven development (TDD) with Python. You’ll learn how to write and run tests before building each part of your app, and then develop the minimum...

Arthur: God and Hero in Avalon
Arthur: God and Hero in Avalon
For fifteen centuries, legends of King Arthur have enthralled us. Born in the misty past of a Britain under siege, half-remembered events became shrouded in ancient myth and folklore. The resulting tales were told and retold, until over time Arthur, Camelot, Avalon, the Round Table, the Holy Grail, Excalibur, Lancelot, and...
Handbook of Food Factory Design
Handbook of Food Factory Design

Food manufacturing has evolved over the centuries from kitchen industries to modern, sophisticated production operations. A typical food factory includes the food processing and packaging lines, the buildings and exterior landscaping, and the utility-supply and waste-treatment facilities. As a single individual is unlikely to possess all the...
