After a 24hr Set-Back, Testing Resumes
This morning I was finally able to get back to the performance testing that I was hoping to finish yesterday. The problem with today's data is that it's significantly slower than before the Salesforce refresh - meaning they clearly put us on less powerful hardware or bandwidth because we're seeing a three to five times increase in the access times for the data and writes. It's really slow. However, that's got it's upsides as well - we won't likely see much slower, and we'll see how the data stacks up.
Additionally, today I compared the EC2 instance with a physical box in the datacenter that will be the ultimate host for the app. This will again be the comparison of serial running versus a number of parallel processes. All in hope of finding what impact the runs have, and how the time grows with workload.
Hope things all work out.
