Computer system functionality is only as good as its performance. No longer can we afford to wait for a screen to update, a query to complete, or a file to download. Good performance is now expected, and the demand for real-time data access is becoming the norm. With the growing popularity of cloud computing, performance is a key to its success.

This chapter lays emphasis on performance, not just GoldenGate; we understood the importance of good database performance both at the source and target to enable fast data replication. We also discovered the Oracle GoldenGate 12c new performance enhancing features that provide out-of-the-box parallel processing. We looked at how to tune the new integrated parameters for increased data throughput.

You learned that performance tuning is not always done at the software level, by leveraging new hardware technologies, massive performance gains can be achieved.

From parallel processing configuration to tuning Linux kernel parameters, this chapter...
