Brendan Gregg

People often tell me they don't understand performance tool output because they can't tell what's "good" or "bad." It can be hard as performance is subjective. I recently encountered terrible disk performance and thought it'd be useful to collect Linux tool screenshots and share them for reference. Linux 4.15.0-66-generic

Using Huge Pages with PostgreSQL Running Inside Kubernetes

Percona

Unfortunately, the performance in benchmarks is almost the same as for 4KB pages. Please check out the Why Linux HugePages are Super Important for Database Servers: A Case with PostgreSQL blog post for more information. Setup I recommend starting with 2MB huge pages because it’s trivial to set up. It’s easy with anydbver and k3d.

How to analyze PostgreSQL benchmark performance with HammerDB

HammerDB

We will provide a brief summary of the article and its conclusions, and demonstrate a better way to analyze PostgreSQL performance with HammerDB itself. To investigate further, we will analyze PostgreSQL performance using HammerDB built-in tools for a deeper insight into the workload. and start the build running.

For optimum performance, a PostgreSQL database depends on the operating system parameters being defined correctly. Poorly configured OS kernel parameters can cause degradation in database server performance. This results in improved performance. SHMMAX / SHMALL. Until version 9.2, PostgreSQL switched to POSIX shared memory.
