I wonder why there&#x27;s not the equivalent to the Frameworks Benchmark[1] for databases.  It seems we could all really benefit from that.  Ideally it would get to a place where they would be able to simulate real-world worst case scenarios and test for problems.  Each database would likely want multiple entries with different configs, but if you have some engineered failure scenarios and tests in the results it becomes obvious what the trade-off is.  Sure, a specific setting may reduce consistency in the event of a failure for speed, but sometimes that&#x27;s what you might want, and if the failure cases clearly show the problem, at least you aren&#x27;t going in blind.<p>1: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.techempower.com&#x2F;benchmarks&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.techempower.com&#x2F;benchmarks&#x2F;</a>
