A Bunch of Money on AWS and Some Benchmark Results
This benchmark is pretty ridiculous for the following reasons:<p>1. Their database is run in asynchronous durability mode.<p>2. They specifically do the one thing that TPC-C says you shouldn&#x27;t do, which is get really high throughput on a small dataset. TPC-C enforces that you scale your data-stored with the query throughput. CockroachDB maxes out at ~12.8tpmC&#x2F;warehouse because <i>its waiting at the legal maximum throughput</i>, as opposed to running up the numbers in a way that&#x27;s against the rules (and spirit) of the benchmark.<p>3. They make all the TPC-DS mistakes that georgewfraser points out elsewhere in this thread.<p>4. They run in read committed mode (they don&#x27;t support anything higher), CockroachDB runs in serializable mode.<p>I ended up ranting about this on Twitter, so rather than reproducing everything here, I&#x27;m going to link to my rant there.
