Database NewSQL performance evaluation for big data in the public cloud

For very years, relational databases have been the leading model for data storage, retrieval and management. However, due to increasing needs for scalability and performance, alternative systems have emerged, namely NewSQL technology. NewSQL is a class of modern relational database management systems (RDBMS) that provide the same scalable performance of NoSQL systems for online transaction processing (OLTP) read-write workloads, while still maintaining the ACID guarantees of a traditional database system. In this research paper, the performance of a NewSQL database is evaluated, compared to a MySQL database, both running in the cloud, in order to measure the response time against different configurations of workloads.Fil: Murazzo, Maria Antonia.
