Measuring the Performance of Different Destination Platforms

Question

Find out how you can measure and compare the relative performance of different destination platforms to choose a new platform or decide on switching platforms.

Answer

In order to compare destination performance apples-to-apples and get a true read of relative performance, here are the things we recommend aligning as best as you can:

• Make sure the schema is the same between the two connectors. Even one table could affect the speed of the sync.
• Make sure the sync frequencies are the same between destinations. The longer in between the syncs, the more data there is to load.
• Verify the destinations you are comparing are comparable in size.
• Ensure your deployment region is the same or comparable because that can impact latency.

Considerations

Each destination platform comes with its own specific set of features and functionalities and there are performance optimizations that can be done in one and not in another. We recommend that you take those into account as you compare different platforms.
