Performance Profile

#performance_profile

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

Read Performance Profile

Throughput: Thousands to millions of transactions per second (TPS) or queries per second (QPS), depending on workload and configuration

Payload Size: Varies widely, from small key-value lookups (tens of bytes) to large analytical queries (MBs to GBs)

Processing Latency: Sub-millisecond for simple OLTP queries, tens to hundreds of milliseconds for complex analytical queries

Write Performance Profile

Throughput: Thousands to hundreds of thousands of transactions per second (TPS) for OLTP workloads

Payload Size: Typically tens of bytes to a few kilobytes per transaction for OLTP

Processing Latency: Sub-millisecond to a few milliseconds for typical OLTP writes
