In 2018, a widespread adaptation of Kubernetes for big data processing is anitcipated. A recent performance benchmark completed by Intel and BlueData using the BigBench benchmarking kit has shown that the performance ratios for container-based Hadoop workloads on BlueData EPIC are equal to and in some cases, better than bare-metal Hadoop [7].

Instead of relational (SQL) databases defined primarily through a hierarchy of related sets via tables and columns, their non-relational structure used a system of collections and documents. Though still not “profitable” by many benchmarks, it’s a lot closer to being so, perhaps in a big way.)

Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. Tools and CI systems help them monitor progress & prevent regressions. Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial. Some systems show median RTTs near ~100ms for 3G users. Performance budgets are set early in the life of the project.

Similarly for this guide MySQL can be swapped for a mySQL based databases such as MariaDB.

India became a 4G-centric market sometime in 2018. Using a global ASP as a benchmark can further mislead thanks to the distorting effect of ultra-high-end prices rising while shipment volumes stagnate.
