[Freeswitch-users] Performance bottleneck

[Ken Rice]

Actually I don¹t know of any mechanism that will back up the DB... Where
sqlite does work well for small to medium installations it only scales to a
point... Sqlite does not reuse Œnodes¹ in the db on an update... It marks
them as dead and creates a new entry... While this works ok on smaller
tables w/ light to medium updates after a while you have to compress or
vacuum the tables... This requires a table level lock with sqlite... FS does
have some things built in to handle this, but under load this can cause the
switch to appear to hang.

Switching over to use something like Postgresql (my prefered db) helps out a
good bit here, but keep in mind that in doing so you greatly increase the
resources required for the db. Also don¹t forget that pgsql has a similar
mechanism on how it handles updates, just don¹t forget to enable
auto-vacuuming on pgsql...  That is a discussion for a different list tho

Well putting the db in ram does help a bit but it has to keep states of
everything going on and do extra work for that... its a heavy task in
itself.
