Background: If you did not read my first blog post about why I am sharing my thoughts on the benchmarks published by Mark Callaghan on Small Datum you may want to skim through it now for a little context: “Thoughts on Small Datum – Part 1” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Last time, in “Thoughts on Small Datum – […]
NoSQL time-series applications built with MongoDB frequently need to remove expired or unwanted data. This is especially true in the world of big data. Sub-optimization in this area leads to unnecessary database growth and decreased performance. In addition, the Time To Live (TTL) Index capabilities found in MongoDB may cause significant performance issues. Register Now! […]
The title of this post should really be, “Maybe He Should Try Taking a Walk in Your Shoes.” The he I’m referring to is economist and author, Tim Harford. The you is the people who use NewSQL and NoSQL approaches to mine big data with database platforms like MySQL and MongoDB (or, preferably, our high-performance […]
If you did not read my first blog post about Mark Callaghan’s (@markcallaghan) benchmarks as documented in his blog, Small Datum, you may want to skim through it now for a little context. ——————- On March 11th, Mark, a former Google and now Facebook database guru, published an insertion rate benchmark comparing MySQL outfitted with […]
A little background… When I ventured into sales and marketing (I’m an engineer by education) I learned I would often have to interpret and simply summarize the business value that is sometimes hidden in benchmarks. Simply put, the people who approve the purchase of products like TokuDB® and TokuMX™ appreciate the executive summary. Therefore, I plan […]
