Fun article. Would be interesting to see any benchmarks folks have on a variety of devices and computer sizes. I'd expect most developer machines to be quite beefy compared to, say, my kids Chromebooks. Those are still far stronger than anything I grew up with, of course. In ways that make any intuition I have basically worthless on performance.
- joseferben 3y agoI came to the same conclusion. I find it hard to extrapolate from benchmarks that I run locally on my dev machine.
- bearjaws 3y agoIts pretty sad given how most cloud providers price out IOPS. I've had to explain numerous times to our engineers that their laptop is running around 10x the IOPS of our database (~40,000). Table scans are actually more performant on a dev laptop than a replica.
- adrianN 3y agoHave you considered shipping your dev laptops to the cloud? That would make deploying easier too.
- bawolff 3y agoThe author tested only 100k rows. That almost certainly fits in your kids chromebook's memory just as much as it would a beefy computer. It would probably fit in memory even on a raspberry pi or a computer from the 90s.
- robertlagrant 3y agoYou reminded me of walking home from school one day in the late 90s and talking with a friend about how RAM had hit £1/MB, and how amazing that was. Today I can buy it at much faster speeds and better timings for £0.03/MB. Damn capitalism.
