Database performance investigation, benchmark reports and HammerDB enablement.

Database Performance Services

HammerDB Ltd helps teams find out why databases are slow, which platforms are faster, and which choices cost less to run.

What we do

Performance investigation

We investigate why a database is not performing as expected. This can include database engine behaviour, CPU, I/O, waits, contention, configuration, storage and platform issues.

Benchmark reports

We produce HammerDB benchmark reports that compare databases, versions, cloud instances, storage tiers or server platforms.

Cost comparison

We help compare performance against cost, so teams can see which platform gives the best result for the money.

HammerDB training

We train teams to run HammerDB correctly, choose sensible test settings, collect metrics and understand the results.

Cloud and AMI enablement

We help teams run HammerDB on AWS and other cloud platforms, including HammerDB AMI usage, instance selection and result collection.

Partner delivery

For production database engineering and operational work, HammerDB Ltd can work with specialist partners including Vettabase.

The value is the why

A benchmark number is useful, but it is not enough.

HammerDB Ltd looks at why performance changed, where the bottleneck is, and what the result means for the database, platform and cost decision.

Recent work with MariaDB used HammerDB analysis to identify the causes of a major performance gap and help drive a 2.5x improvement.

Typical questions

  • Why is this database slower than expected?
  • Which database version is faster?
  • Which cloud instance gives the best performance for the cost?
  • Can we run this workload on a smaller system?
  • Is the bottleneck CPU, I/O, storage, locking, configuration or the database engine?
  • How should we run HammerDB so the results are repeatable and useful?
