Benchmarking-as-a-service for cloud-hosted DBMS

Abstract

Database Management Systems (DBMS) operated on cloud resources are the storage backend for a multitude of data-intensive applications. In the process of finding the optimal cloud and DBMS, benchmarking is the common approach to evaluate the non-functional features. However, benchmarking cloud-hosted DBMS is a complex, error-prone and time-consuming task. The Benchmarking-as-a-Service platform benchANT demonstrates how these challenges are resolved by an end-to-end automated benchmarking process.
