Introduction
Evaluating the performance of database systems is a very demanding task. There are a lot of hard choices to be made, e.g.:
- What operating system and operating system version is to be used
- What configuration setup is to be used
- What benchmarks are to be used and how long are the warm-up and measure times
- What test setups are to be used
- What version of the database management system is used
- What storage engine is used
While performance evaluation is mostly machine time, there is still a lot of hard work for the human monitoring the tests. …

Introduction
Eventual consistency [1] is a consistency model, which is used in many large distributed databases. Such databases require that all changes to a replicated piece of data eventually reach all affected replicas. Furthermore, the conflict resolution is not handled in these databases, and the responsibility is pushed up to the application authors in the event of conflicting updates. Eventual consistency is a specific form of weak consistency: the storage system guarantees that if no new updates are made to the object, eventually all accesses will return the last updated value [1]. If no failures occur, the maximum size of the inconsistency window can be determined based on the factors such as communication delays, the load on the system, and the number of replicas involved in the replication scheme. …

Last week, 19 years later, a MariaDB event was held in Helsinki. It was SkySQL that arranged the first in a row of this year’s MariaDB Roadshow events. …
