Reconstructing a streaming session was a tedious and time consuming process that involved tracing all interactions (requests) between the Netflix app, our Content Delivery Network (CDN), and backend microservices. The next challenge was to stream large amounts of traces via a scalable data processing platform.

As database performance is heavily influenced by the performance of storage, network, memory, and processors, we must understand the upper limit of these key components. For the network, we can use Iperf to assess the network bandwidth between the client and the database server to ensure it will be enough to meet our peak requirement.
