MySQL Tuning Boosts Drupal Commerce Performance

Staff Reporter

A DEV blog post by Roman Agabekov titled "How MySQL Tuning Dramatically Improves Drupal Performance" highlights the significant impact of MySQL configuration tuning on Drupal Commerce. Through a detailed testing approach using JMeter on AWS EC2 instances, Agabekov measured key metrics: response time, CPU utilization, and queries per second.

For a 1GB database, tuning reduced response time by 63%, CPU utilization by 63%, and slightly increased queries per second. For a 3GB database, improvements were more pronounced, with a 97% reduction in response time, a 73% drop in CPU utilization, and a 268% increase in queries per second. These findings demonstrate the substantial benefits of MySQL tuning for enhancing Drupal application performance.
