The virtual CPU is turned off. Lambda functions often serve as a gluing tier or a gateway from on-premises systems to AWS services; they’re almost never standalone. Depending on how resilient the calling system is, a failure in a Lambda function can potentially take down an entire website or application.

HammerDB uses stored procedures to achieve maximum throughput when benchmarking your database. HammerDB has always used stored procedures as a design decision because the original benchmark was implemented as close as possible to the example workload in the TPC-C specification that uses stored procedures. On MySQL, we saw a 1.5X

Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. Some disruption might occur, but it will be minimal. Fault tolerance aims for zero downtime and data loss.

This is an important consideration that is often missed, so although it seems obvious, it is worth reiterating that benchmarking applications are not typically designed to be disconnected and the database restarted whilst the workload is running.

The problem is that this system has a default libc that has been compiled without frame pointers, so any stack walking stops at the libc layer, producing a partial stack that's missing the application frames.
