Slides: https://www.slideshare.net/DataStax/honest-performance-testing-with-ndbench-vinay-chella-netflix-cassandra-summit-2016-66634445 | Apache Cassandra makes it possible to execute millions of operations per second in scalable fashion. Harnessing the power of C* leaves many developers pondering about the following: - Is my data model appropriate and not going to end up as wide partition(s) causing heap pressure and other issues? - How do I tune my connection pool configuration? What are the optimal settings for my environment ? - What is my C* cluster capacity in terms of number of IOPs for a given 95th and 99th latency? - How do I perf-test my data access layer? In this talk, Vinay Chella, Cloud Data Architect @ Netflix, will share open source tools, techniques and platform(NDBench) that Netflix uses to perf-test their C* fleet with simulations millions of operations per second.
