Overview
This page is created to investigate Aurora serverless performance by comparing it with configured database for DB xlarge instance type. Data Import (DI) on oasl-pvt cluster with Check-in Check-out (CICO) script running as background.
Summary
- The environment can handle the load with all compared DB instance types.
- Serverless v2 (32 - 128 ACUs) DB instance type configuration performs much better than (0.5 - 128 ACUs) due to increased capacity and its performance closer to 8xlarge. But to cut costs it's better to use (0.5 - 128 ACUs) for DB reader instance role.
- Aurora serverless RDS CPU didn't exceed 25% for any file size. Execution time or test duration has tendency to decreasing for bigger file size because of bigger ACUs.
- A set of tests were carried out in accordance with the conditions described in - PERF-578Getting issue details... STATUS . Comparing tests with database instance type db.r6g.xlarge where RDS CPU utilization was stable but high with max rate of 96% against the database instance type Serverless v2 where RDS CPU utilization didn't exceed 26% in the highest load, yet the test duration decreased for 25k DI job only. Time decreasing happened because of Aurora Capacity Units (ACU) grew during first 10k data import and didn't scale down instantly. So ACUs stayed on the same level for some time and then scaled down to default level without load.
- In addition running tests for CICO - PERF-593Getting issue details... STATUS I could observe that xlarge used more DB connections than any of DB instance types. The results mentioned in summary table show better response times over time for runs with 20 users. And no significant changes between different DB instance types. High latency was observed for all tests.
- To capture additional data from performance insights during DI with 50K file - PERF-602Getting issue details... STATUS three DI operations for different DB instance types were carried out. All snapshots are located in Average Active Sessions table.
- To check hypothesis that Aurora serverless configuration changes for Deployments and tasks parameter from 2 to 4 in mod-inventory, mod-inventory-storage, mod-circulation, mod-circulation-storage can lead to test duration decreasing additional DI without CICO were carried out. After check no dependencies are found for that amount of tests. It's considered that 5 or more DI operations needed to get relevant data.
Results
The table includes test results from running on different database instance types Here we observe that RDS CPU utilization for db.r6g.xlarge has maximum values and test duration grows proportional to file size.
But after database was switched to Aurora serverless RDS CPU didn't exceed 25% for any file size. Execution time or test duration has tendency to decreasing for bigger file size because of bigger ACUs.
