About the Job 

 

You will be measuring performance in a high-availability, high-performance replicated Sybase ASE database. From a database perspective we see a great need to properly measure and analyse the performance of our database environments. Whenever we apply changes to the servers or database we want to feel comfortable of the stability and performance of the database when the changes are finally applied in the production environment. 

 

Changes that may be applied include hardware, OS, database version as well as changes in external services using the database. No matter which changes are applied, we want to be able to get some sort of measurement on whether or not the changes are impacting the database in a negative way. 

Due to the differences in load between our environments we require something that is scalable and portable, i.e. tendencies we see in an environment with less load should be somewhat applicable in our production environment. Ideally, we would like to have both a method and a tool to use.  

We currently have a proof of concept tool written in python Locust using our internal API:s to put some load on the database, which needs to be either expanded or replaced 

 

Your main job responsibilities: 
* Analyse database performance 
* Apply analysis to make predictions in other environments 
* Implement tooling for repeatable results to provide a measurement for performance 
 

Educational background 
* Background in areas of computer science, modelling and/or databases (C, D, E, π)
