Tracing Large Memory Allocations in Rust with BPFtrace
Tracing memory allocations is critical when debugging performance or memory-related issues in high-performance applications. However, Rust still lacks a good toolset to do so and often some techniques require code changes such as changing default global allocator. In this article we will explore how we were able to track large memory allocations we were seeing on Readyset, such as the one in the above graph by using bpftrace. BPFtrace is a high-level tracing language for Linux, built on the Be

Integrating Readyset with ProxySQL for MySQL workloads
ProxySQL is a high-performance, high-availability proxy for MySQL, serving as an intermediary between MySQL clients and servers to optimize and manage database traffic. It provides advanced query routing, directing queries to the most appropriate database server based on predefined rules, such as the query type or server load, thus enhancing performance and spreading the load evenly across servers. Open and closing connections in MySQL means creating and deleting new OS threads, which under the
