Thanks to community contributions, the C# tests have been dramatically improved, especially when querying the database. Speaking of database tests, in previous rounds, we had used an SSD to host the databases. Prior to finishing Round 7, that SSD failed, so Round 7 is run with ramdisk-backed databases (excluding SQL Server).

Are there complexities revolving around algorithms or databases? Is user interface and graphic design a necessity? Do you have the basics already defined and merely need them fleshed out? Or is your project a clean slate? Do you anticipate scale issues presently or in the future?

Even if certain categories aren't predefined in the database, users still receive relevant product suggestions. For instance, if a user searches for "low carb options," even though "low carb" might not be a category saved in the database, the LLM can still match and suggest "keto" products, understanding the user's intent.

All of the other tests (JSON, Fortunes, database read and write tests) are still run without HTTP pipelining. The wrk tool was later enhanced to allow larger write buffers, but we ultimately decided to retain a 16 requests per pipeline test configuration. However, we spot-tested the JSON serialization test with pipelining enabled.

SQLite tests miss the spirit of the database tests by avoiding network communication to a secondary server (a database server), making them a bit similar to our future caching-enabled test type. During our preview cycles on Round 10, we elected to—for the time being as least—remove SQLite tests.

Stratified database results. As you review Round 17 results, you'll notice that Postgres database tests are stratified—there are groups of test implementations that seem implausibly faster than other test implementations. We call it pipelining, but you could also call it multiplexing. Other updates.

Additionally, we have added a new test type focused on writes, wherein a variable number of database updates are executed per request. This test thoroughly punishes the database server to a degree not seen in any of our previous tests. As a result, you''ll notice the other database tests are essentially unchanged versus Round 4.
