Key insights For Database Benchmarking

⚡️ The database's speed is vital to the overall performance of the system, affecting every other component of the application.

💻 The term "new SQL" was defined by the 451 Research Group in 2015 to refer to distributed SQL systems like CockroachDB and Yugabyte that provide horizontal scalability.

📊 There are significant differences in performance and price performance-wise among different database service offers, making benchmarking crucial for decision-making.

📊 The database choice depends on the specific application needs, such as high write volume and low complex read queries for IoT applications.

⚡️ The performance boost of 50% on a different database system led to the possibility of reducing the number of hardware, providing valuable insights and recommendations to the customer.

🔄 A new category of database systems, like the Vector database, is evolving to keep up with the trends in AI and large language models.

💡 The biggest benefit of AI in databases may not just be performance-related, but also in autotuning and potentially other uses.
