Vadim TkachenkoQuite often, especially for benchmarks, I am trying to limit available memory for a database server (usually for MySQL, but recently for MongoDB also). This is usually needed to test database performance in scenarios with different memory limits. I have physical servers with the usually high amount of memory (128GB or more), but I am […]
While our engineering team is working on finalizing the TokuMXse storage engine, I want to provide an experimental build that you can try and test MongoDB 3.0 with our storage engine. It is available here percona.com/downloads/TESTING/Percona-TokuMXse-rc5/percona-tokumxse-3.0.3pre-rc5.tar.gz To start MongoDB with TokuMXse storage engine use:

I am looking for your feedback!
An idea for a benchmark based on the “arrival request” rate that I wrote about in a post headlined “Introducing new type of benchmark” back in 2012 was implemented in Sysbench. However, Sysbench provides only a simple workload, so to be able to compare InnoDB with TokuDB, and later MongoDB with Percona TokuMX, I wanted […]
We designed Percona Cloud Tools (both hardware and software setup) to handle a very high-intensive MySQL write workload. For example, we already observe inserts of 1bln+ datapoints per day. So I wanted to share what kind of hardware we use to achieve this result. Let me describe what we use, and later I will explain […]
In my recent post, “TokuDB gotchas: slow INFORMATION_SCHEMA TABLES,” I saw a couple questions and tweets asking if we use TokuDB in production. Actually I mentioned it in that post and we also blogged about it in a couple of other recent posts: Getting to know TokuDB for MySQL Percona Server with TokuDB: Packing 15TB […]
We are using Percona Server + TokuDB engine extensively in Percona Cloud Tools and getting real usage operational experience with this engine. So I want to share some findings we came across, in hope it may help someone in their work with TokuDB. So, one problem I faced is that SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES is […]
We recently released a new version of Percona Cloud Tools with MySQL monitoring capabilities. Join me June 25 and learn the details about all of the great new features inside Percona Cloud Tools – which is now free in beta. The webinar is titled “register now for the webinar. I also encourage you, if you haven’t already, […]
We recently open-sourced our percona-agent and if you check out the source code, you’ll find that it is written in the Go programming language (aka Golang). For those not up to speed, the percona-agent is a real-time client-side agent for Percona Cloud Tools. Our requirements are quite demanding for our agents. This one is software that works […]
First, I would like to invite you to my webinar, “agent that Daniel also talks about here in
We just released, as an open source release, our new percona-agent the agent to work with Percona Cloud Tools. This agent is written in Go. There will be more posts about percona-agent, but in the meantime I want to dedicate this one to Go, Go with MySQL and some performance topics. I have had an interest […]
I’d like to congratulate Canonical with the new Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) Release, it really looks like a great release, and I say it having my own agenda 🙂 It looks even more great because it comes with a full line of Percona Software. If you install Ubuntu 14.04 and run aptitude search you […]
Two weeks ago we released
I’ve mentioned InfiniDB before in a previous post titled, “Star Schema Bechmark: InfoBright, InfiniDB and LucidDB,” but it’s been 4 years since that was published. Recently I evaluated column-storage solutions for Percona Cloud Tools and took another look at InfiniDB 4. There was the release of version 4, which I think is worth attention. What […]
Next week (Wednesday, February 12 at 10 a.m. Pacific) I will host a webinar titled “Analyze MySQL Query Performance with Percona Cloud Tools.”
We just published results with improvements in Thread Pool in Percona Server: Percona Server: Thread Pool Improvements for Transactional Workloads Percona Server: Improve Scalability with Thread Pool What I am happy to see is that Percona Server is able to handle a tremendous amount of user connections. From our charts you can see it can […]

Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.6 Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.6 is an active/active cluster solution for High Availability (HA) MySQL […]
In our practice we often see that MySQL performance optimization is done in a sort of “black magic” way. A common opinion is: “If there is a performance problem – then it must be a database issue, because what else could it be? And if this is a database issue, then it must involve IO […]
We’re looking for a full-time web back-end developer to join our team and help continue building the Percona Cloud Tools back end. We use the Go language, so we would love to find a Go programmer, but since Go is a very new language, we’re looking for any great programmer who wants to learn and […]
This blog, MySQLPerformanceBlog.com, is powered by WordPress, but we never really looked into what kind of queries to MySQL are used by WordPress. So for couple months we ran a Query Analytics (part of Percona Cloud Tools) agent there, and now it is interesting to take a look on queries. Query Analytics uses reports produced […]
One of our primary focuses at Percona is performance. Let me make some statements on what is “performance.” In doing so I will refer to two pieces of content: Carry Millsap’s talk “Performance Instrumentation: Beyond What You Do Now” [1] White Paper (by Peter and Baron) “Goal-Driven Performance Optimization” [2] I highly recommend that you […]
