Benchmarking Tessell HPC for PostgreSQL on Azure

A HammerDB benchmark comparing Tessell's High Performance Compute for PostgreSQL against standard Azure PostgreSQL, measuring throughput and cost across workloads from 1 to 150 virtual users.

Benchmarking Tessell HPC for PostgreSQL on Azure

Up to 2.5x

Higher NOPM than standard Azure PostgreSQL

42,227 NOPM

Peak Tessell throughput at 62 virtual users

$1,578/mo

Tessell cost, within ~1% of standard Postgres configurations

Fully managed

DBaaS, not self-managed Postgres

What's Inside

  • The benchmark methodology: how Tessell DBaaS and standard Azure PostgreSQL were tested head-to-head using HammerDB on matched 8-vCore, 64 GiB configurations.

  • The testing environment: the VM shapes, storage tiers, network setup, and database initialization used to keep the comparison fair.

  • The pricing breakdown: monthly cost for Tessell versus three standard Azure PostgreSQL storage configurations, based on the Azure Pricing Calculator.

  • Throughput across load levels: NOPM results at 1, 50, 62, 100, and 150 virtual users for every configuration.

  • Where the gap widens: how Tessell's NVMe-backed High Performance Compute sustains throughput as concurrency rises while standard configurations hit their IOPS ceilings.

  • The headline finding: up to 2.5 times the NOPM at similar or lower cost, with a fully managed service.
