Benchmark Tessell RDS Oracle performance using SLOB
Blog post from Tessell
The article explores the performance benchmarking of Oracle database engines on AWS cloud, specifically comparing Tessell RDS and AWS RDS using the SLOB benchmarking tool. The setup involves provisioning a Tessell RDS Oracle instance with 8 vCPUs and 64 GB RAM and an Amazon EC2 instance in the same VPC to minimize latency. Detailed steps for installing and configuring the Oracle client and SLOB tool are provided, including setting up security groups and environment variables. The benchmarking process involves configuring SLOB parameters and running performance tests, which show Tessell RDS achieving significantly higher IOPS and throughput than AWS RDS, with Tessell delivering 1,103% higher IOPS for the same SLOB workload.
