Varnish cache buster add-on for Statamic

Abhishek Tiwari

Setting up Varnish for Statamic was quite easy and my website performance improved drastically ( you can see load and performance testing benchmarks here ). One of the biggest challenges was Varnish cache invalidation on content update.

Impact of Data locality on DB workloads.

n0derunner

In this video I migrate a Postgres DB running PGbench benchmark. The variation in the transaction rate is due to the benchmark itself, the transaction rate is not expected to be uniform. Many different queries are executing in parallel, some hitting RAM cache, some hitting storage.

HCI Performance testing made easy (Part 3)

n0derunner

Creating a HCI benchmark to simulate multi-tennent workloads. We supply a pre-configured scenario which we call the DB Colocation test. The DB Colocation test utilizes two properties of X-Ray not found in other benchmarking tools. Time based benchmark actions. Distinct per-VM workload patterns.

KPTI/KAISER Meltdown Initial Performance Regressions

Brendan Gregg

This overhead can be reduced by A) pcid, fully available in Linux 4.14, and B) Huge pages. - **Cache access pattern**: the overheads are exacerbated by certain access patterns that switch from caching well to caching a little less well. This can turn a 1% overhead (syscall cycles alone) into a 7% overhead. In more detail: ## 1.

SQL Server I/O Basics Chapter #1

SQL Server According to Bob

Stable media is commonly physical disk storage, but other devices and certain caching facilities qualify as well. Many high-end disk subsystems provide high-speed cache facilities to reduce the latency of read and write operations. This cache is often supported by a battery-powered backup facility.

PostgreSQL Connection Pooling: Part 4 – PgBouncer vs. Pgpool-II

Scalegrid

Performance Testing. So, we pitted the two connection poolers head-to-head, using the standard pgbench tool, to see which one provides better transactions per second throughput through a benchmark test. For good measure, we ran the same tests without a connection pooler too. Testing Conditions. Final Words.
