Automate Database Benchmarking with Xbench
summary
Xbench is a Python 3 CLI that provisions cloud instances (AWS shown), runs benchmarks end-to-end, and tears them down, producing Jupyter notebook reports and Grafana snapshots. It drives sysbench and BenchBase workloads, iterates concurrency arrays, and automates experiments across clouds and DBs. Example results show Xpand scaling from 6→18 nodes while Cockroach becomes CPU‑bound near ~128 threads. It integrates Prometheus + Grafana for metrics and supports proxies/FDW setups like MaxScale and Xgress.
