2017: MongoDB goes public, trading as MDB. Though still not “profitable” by many benchmarks, it’s a lot closer to being so, perhaps in a big way.) (Some might say this marked the beginning of MongoDB’s “cloud push” escalation.) Since then, the stock price has increased more than 600%.

As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. WebGL 2 launched for other platforms on Chrome and Firefox in 2017.

— Alex Russell (@slightlylate) October 4, 2017. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial. Simulated packet loss and variable latency, however, can make benchmarking extremely difficult and slow. Maybe "ambush by JS"?

Test Device Recommendations # Per our methodology from last year which uses the 5-8 year replacement cycle for a PC, we update our target date to late 2017 or early 2018, but leave the average-selling-price fixed between $600-700. So what did $650, give or take, buy in late 2017 or early 2018? but which blessedly sports 8GB of RAM.

A 2017 study by Akamai says as much when it found that even a 100ms delay in page load can decrease conversions by 7% and lose 1% of their sales for every 100ms it takes for their site to load which, at the time of the study, was equivalent to $1.6 billion if the site slowed down by just one second.

We won't know the actual single-threaded performance of these processors until they have been released and benchmarked by neutral third-party testers. These include your overall server CPU capacity, your single-threaded CPU performance, your memory density and capacity, your total I/O capacity, and your SQL Server 2017/2019 license costs.

When you own all of the code then this may involve some back of the envelope estimates, competitive benchmarking, or intuition tuned by experience.

Any partitioning strategy should improve query performance , not lead to suboptimal queries — test and benchmark strategies before implementation. It’s a pretty common question around here, so let’s see what we can do about that.
