Every database change comes with the same question: What happens when this hits production?

In this Skills 101 session, we’ll show how Benchmark Factory helps you validate changes under realistic conditions before they reach production. You’ll see practical ways to understand capacity, uncover performance risks, and make more confident decisions before users are impacted.

We’ll explore how to:

• Replay real workloads: Capture and run production transactions in a controlled test environment
• Simulate future demand: Use TPC-C and TPC-H benchmarks to create repeatable load tests
• Measure scalability: Increase users and concurrency to see how your environment responds under pressure
• Identify limits early: Use execution metrics to spot bottlenecks and capacity constraints before they become production issues

Whether you’re preparing for a migration, validating a configuration change, or planning for growth, you’ll leave with a practical approach for testing more confidently before production becomes the proving ground.

Stay for the live Q&A and bring your Benchmark Factory and database performance questions.
