Sysbench
How long does it take the ReadySet cache to warm up?
During my setup of benchmarking I run a quick test-sysbench script to ensure my configuration is right before running an hour+ duration test. When pointing to a Readyset cache where I have cached the 5 queries used in the sysbench test, but I have not run any execution of the SQL, throughput went up 10x in 5 seconds.

Monitoring Latency with Throughput
Higher throughput does not imply improved performance. This is a common problem when the need for an application to support more users, you provide higher concurrency and that appears to show the capability to support higher throughput.

Using Readyset Caching with AWS RDS MySQL
Readyset is a next-generation database caching solution that offers a drop-in; no application code changes; approach to improve database performance. If you are using a legacy application where it is difficult to modify SQL statements, or the database is overloaded due to poorly-designed SQL access patterns, implementing a cache is a common design strategy for addressing database reliability and scalability issues.

I have several side projects when time permits and one is that of benchmarking various MySQL technologies (e.g. MySQL 5.0,5.1,5.4), variants (e.g. MariaDB, Drizzle) and storage engines (e.g. Tokutek, Innodb plugin) and even other products like Tokyo Cabinet which is gaining large implementations.

If your compiling a product that includes a dependency of MySQL, you can easily get the error configure: error: mysql_config executable not found I generally don’t see this problem, because I use MySQL binary tar files, however if you use MySQL packages, such as Ubuntu, you can easily miss the required dependency.
