The revolution of performance tuning – from manual to autonomous
Performance tuning in traditional databases has been a perpetual and tedious task that requires a keen understanding of data architecture, SQL queries, and the ability to anticipate system usage patterns. However, the growing complexity of data and an increasingly demanding digital environment have given birth to an innovative approach – autonomous or self-driving databases that can automatically tune performance, altering system parameters based on workload analysis and predictions of future requirements.
Understanding performance tuning
Performance tuning is the process of optimizing database performance to meet specific objectives, typically related to processing speed and responsiveness. It involves making adjustments to database configuration, hardware, and SQL queries to improve efficiency and minimize resource use.
In traditional databases, performance tuning is a manual, labor-intensive...
