Summary

Benchmarking is a crucial practice in measuring system performance to identify its limits. Our service uses benchmarking for both regression testing and optimizing database performance. We've developed our own benchmarking tool, memtier_benchmark, which provides customizable traffic patterns against Memcached and Redis instances. The tool offers robust reporting capabilities and can be used extensively for development and sharing knowledge with the community. Its source code is released under GPLv2 licensing, allowing users to download it from our GitHub account. Memtier_benchmark offers various features such as connection and general options, test options, object options, imported data options, key options, and more, making it a convenient and easy-to-use command-line interface for benchmarking.
