Regardless of whether the computing platform to be evaluated is on-prem, containerized, virtualized, or in the cloud, it is crucial to consider several essential factors. 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.

But since retrieving data from disk is slow, databases tend to work with a caching mechanism to keep as much hot data, the bits and pieces that are most often accessed, in memory. In MySQL, considering the standard storage engine, InnoDB , the data cache is called Buffer Pool. In PostgreSQL, it is called shared buffers.
