In this podcast episode, Chris reviews the results from a recent project with Ondat, which examines the relative efficiency of container-native storage solutions running common database platforms on Kubernetes. Ondat CTO Alex Chircop and Customer Success Architect Chris Milsted join the conversation.
The work expands on an initial project published in January 2021 that performed synthetic benchmark testing against a range of commercial and open-source container-native storage platforms, including Ondat. This new report provides improved real-world insight, demonstrating the relative performance of MongoDB, PostgreSQL and Redis solutions.
The testing shows how Ondat, Portworx, OpenEBS, Longhorn and Rook/Ceph perform when running database performance testing software. The results measure transactional output including latency and throughput. An extra aspect of this testing is the additional data covering outliers; effectively understanding how well the solutions manage to deliver predictable I/O responses.
In this episode, both Alex and Chris explain the reasons why testing is so important for customers. The relative efficiency of container-native storage solutions varies widely, which can result in additional hardware expense for customers. This is of critical importance both on-premises and in the public cloud.
