Tail-latency reality

fsync cumulative distribution

hover the curve — snaps to measured percentiles

Points are the measured p50 / p99 / p99.9 / max — the line between them is interpolated (we store percentiles, not a full histogram). Fixed axis: a tight curve on the left is a good host; a curve swept right is an exploding tail.

marketing claim vs measured

− typical marketing claim + what p99bench measured here

−"Up to N,000 IOPS"

+ fsync p99.9 latency at QD1 1.58 ms B

−"NVMe SSD — low latency"

+ p99.9 vs median, not the mean p50 0.13 ms → p99.9 0.33 ms A

−"Dedicated vCPUs"

+ CPU steal measured under full load 0.04% steal

−"High-performance cores"

+ single-thread throughput 1,420 eps A

−"Fast" (short benchmark)

+ IOPS drop over 30 min sustained load 0% degradation

−"No noisy neighbours"

+ scheduler stall p99.9 0.15 ms B

Disk

bound by disk.rand_read_8k.iops

WAL fsync latency ladder (ms, QD1) Every COMMIT waits on one fdatasync. p99.9 is the graded metric — the tail that stalls a database.
