Among the different components of modern software solutions, the database is one of the most critical. There are many times we get asked why some cloud instance performed poorly for their database application and almost always turned out to be some configuration error. Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04

However, this blog is written from the database perspective; hence, I would not prefer to dive into those scenarios as they are very high-level programming concepts. In this section, I will focus on a scenario in the PostgreSQL database that causes segmentation fault. Here, any other path can be used instead of /var/crash.

Data powers everything, and unlike coal and coal combustion, data and databases aren’t going away. In this blog, we’ll focus on the elements of database backup and disaster recovery, and we’ll introduce proven solutions for maintaining business continuity, even amid otherwise dire circumstances.

Last week we saw the benefits of rethinking memory and pointer models at the hardware level when it came to object storage and compression ( Zippads ). The protections are hardware implemented and cannot be forged in software. And this all has to work for whole-system executions, not just the C-language portion of user processes.

Think of containers as the packaging for microservices that separate the content from its environment – the underlying operating system and infrastructure. This opens the door to auto-scalable applications, which effortlessly matches the demands of rapidly growing and varying user traffic. What is Kubernetes? Kubernetes.

Now that Database-as-a-service (DBaaS) is in high demand, there are multiple questions regarding AWS services that cannot always be answered easily: When should I use Aurora and when should I use RDS MySQL ? What we should really compare is the MySQL and Aurora database engines provided by Amazon RDS.

HammerDB is a load testing and benchmarking application for relational databases. All the databases that HammerDB tests implement a form of MVCC (multi-version concurrency control). On high-performance multi-core systems all the supported databases can return performance in the many millions of transactions per minute.

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

One of the common ways to classify database workloads is whether it is “read intensive” or “write intensive”. Because recognizing if the workload is read intensive or write intensive will impact your hardware choices, database configuration as well as what techniques you can apply for performance optimization and scalability.
