sysbench-tpcc
A set of Lua scripts for sysbench that drives a TPC-C-like OLTP workload against MySQL, used to load-test and compare server configurations under realistic contention.
sysbench-tpcc implements the queries and schema from the TPC-C specification as a workload for sysbench 1.0.x, generating the kind of mixed read/write, high-contention OLTP traffic a TPC-C benchmark produces. Its own README is explicit that it is not a certified TPC-C implementation — it skips requirements like keying/think time — and shouldn’t be used to produce results for vendor comparisons; it’s meant as a realistic, repeatable stress workload for comparing hardware, configuration, or storage-engine changes on the same server.
It’s maintained by Percona-Lab under the Apache License 2.0, and is commonly used alongside Percona Server, MySQL, and engines like MyRocks to evaluate how a given tuning or hardware change holds up under sustained contention.
