It’s very interesting to discover certain performance differences across cloud providers, but also between offered services within cloud providers. Running a DataBase-as-a-Service option with the same specifications (CPU-core and RAM wise) should scale to the same performance (tps) as shown below: The performance on DBaaS is about the same in respect to self-managed at UpCloud, […]

Making good progress on the benchmarking platform for database variants at several cloud providers. It will be a matter of adding more variants and cloud providers and testing along the way. Next steps will be focussed on implementation of DBRE-optimized architectures and comparison with the out-of-the-box architectures.

Good progress on the more technical side of dbench.io. Session information makes it possible to continue your benchmarks and comparisons across browsers. Comparison between architectures is made available, with split screen benchmarking to make it possible to compare AWS Aurora PostgreSQL with self-managed PostgreSQL, or Azure Flexible Server with GCP Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL. Currently […]

The fastest way to validate cloud database architectures, minimizing surprises and maximizing ROI. I have an update on my plans for an application-based Proof Of Concept Delivery for Cloud Infrastructure Database Architectures. This consists of a service that provides Proof of Concepts (POCs) for cloud database architectures through an application platform. The platform leverages pre-built […]

With my experience in databases in the cloud and several projects doing proof-of-concepts for customers, I see a benefit from an application / website showing the differences between DBaaS and self-managed databases. At the same time I can show performance differences between various types of cloud providers and database products. Eventually a customer could upload […]
