Session 1: Server Side Tradeoffs
No single architecture maximizes speed, cost, and reliability at the same time. We begin by looking at how specific infrastructure considerations shape database performance, and then how the database itself forces further tradeoffs.
– Infrastructure, topology, and data replication considerations
– Data modeling for performance, and how database knobs may help (or undermine) tail latency
– Consistency and availability tradeoffs (and when to stop worrying about them!)
9:05AM – 9:35AM PT
Session 2: Client Side Tradeoffs
Client configuration is an often overlooked – but critical – factor for keeping database latency low. We'll cover critical best practices and tradeoffs, particularly those that cause bottlenecks at scale.
– Client drivers and settings that work in conjunction with the database, not against it
– Tuning configurations for high availability, consistency, and performance
– Other trade-off considerations: compaction, compression, networking
9:35AM – 10:00AM PT
Session 3: How Tradeoffs Play Out in Real Scenarios
Together, Felipe and Guilherme walk through real scenarios that show the tradeoffs in action. They spot performance issues in monitoring, analyze what underlying decision(s) led to each problem, and debate the pros and cons of alternative approaches.
– Identify performance bottlenecks and discuss how to prevent them
– Real-world examples of different choices and their impact on system performance
– Quantifying the impact of tradeoffs like high availability and performance
10:00AM – 10:20PM PT
