Discover new ways to optimize database performance and avoid common mistakes that impact latency and throughput. The authors of Database Performance at Scale, Felipe Cardeneti Mendes, Piotr Sarna, Pavel Emelyanov, and Cynthia Dunlop, provide practical recommendations based on their own engineering efforts and experience with real-world database deployments. Although the book was written by ScyllaDB employees, it is not specific to ScyllaDB and is relevant to anyone experiencing database latency and throughput issues. The book takes an opinionated approach, presenting the authors’ perspective on performance tradeoffs and recommended best practices.
