Leveraging pgbench , which is a benchmarking utility that comes bundled with PostgreSQL, I will put the cluster through its paces by executing a series of DML operations. And now, execute the benchmark: -- execute the following on the coordinator node pgbench -c 20 -j 3 -T 60 -P 3 pgbench The results are not pretty.

If we were to select the most important MySQL setting, if we were given a freshly installed MySQL or Percona Server for MySQL and could only tune a single MySQL variable, which one would it be? To be fair, that is also true with PostgreSQL; it hasn’t been tuned either, and it, too, can also perform much better.

On the other hand, features needed for monitoring large applications, like memory dumps, code-level-visibility, or event loop metrics on Node.js The result is overall performance metrics that provide valuable insights into how a function is performing regardless of the instance that handles the request.

Quantitative performance testing looks at metrics like response time while qualitative testing is concerned with scalability, stability, and interoperability.
