Performance Profile

#performance_profile

Typical read and write throughput, payload size and processing latency.

Read Performance Profile

Throughput: Varies significantly by data size, type, and restore destination (e.g., EC2 instance restore can be 10s-100s GB/hr, S3 restore can be 100s MB/s to 1s GB/s depending on object count and size)

Payload Size: Varies from single files/objects (KB-MB) to entire databases/volumes (GB-TB)

Processing Latency: Time to initiate restore: typically seconds to minutes. Time to complete restore: minutes to hours, depending on data volume and service being restored.

Write Performance Profile

Throughput: Varies significantly by data size, type, and source service (e.g., EBS volume backup can be 10s-100s MB/s, S3 backup can be 100s MB/s to 1s GB/s depending on object count and size)

Payload Size: Varies from single files/objects (KB-MB) to entire databases/volumes (GB-TB)

Processing Latency: Time to initiate backup: typically seconds to minutes. Time to complete backup: minutes to hours, depending on data volume and service being backed up.
