Join us for a comprehensive demo that will cover everything you need to know to benchmark databases effectively on your own using the Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark (YCSB). We’ll start with an overview of the benchmarking process that covers setting your goals, understanding YCSB workloads, and executing the workloads. We’ll also discuss the nuances of using YCSB for evaluating both relational and NoSQL databases, with a focus on understanding scaling implications for both per-node and serverless database models. The core of the presentation will cover:
- Testing methodologies: Provision, warm-up, execution, and cleanup
- Tooling like Couch Formation, Terraform, Ansible, Chef, and Puppet
- Key aspects of provisioning and configuration for a variety of databases
We’ll also discuss the importance of CI/CD pipelines and share a preview of our new pricing engine. Finally, we’ll show you how to compare Couchbase results with leading database vendors, looking at both scalability and performance.
