Observability engineering: Getting Prometheus metrics right for Kubernetes with Dynatrace and Kepler

Dynatrace

DECEMBER 18, 2023

For busy site reliability engineers, ensuring system reliability, scalability, and overall health is an imperative that’s getting harder to achieve in ever-expanding, cloud-native, container-based environments. To get a more granular look into telemetry data, many analysts rely on custom metrics using Prometheus. What is Prometheus?

SQL Server 2016 – It Just Runs Faster: Always On Availability Groups Turbocharged

SQL Server According to Bob

SEPTEMBER 26, 2016

When we released Always On Availability Groups in SQL Server 2012 as a new and powerful way to achieve high availability, hardware environments included NUMA machines with low-end multi-core processors and SATA and SAN drives for storage (some SSDs). These results are possible for anyone given a scalable hardware solution.

MariaDB vs MySQL: Key Differences and Use Cases

Percona

JUNE 4, 2023

Before we dive into the differences between MariaDB and MySQL, we will provide a thorough examination of each relational database management system (RDBMS). While originally designed to be a drop-in replacement for MySQL, it evolved into its own distinct database management system and is now maintained and supported by the MariaDB Foundation.

Should You Use ClickHouse as a Main Operational Database?

Percona

JANUARY 14, 2019

What if we use ClickHouse (which is a columnar analytical database) as our main datastore? Well, typically, an analytical database is not a replacement for a transactional or key/value datastore. However, ClickHouse is super efficient for timeseries and provides “sharding” out of the box (scalability beyond one node).

We designed DynamoDB to operate with at least 99.999% availability. We started with Amazon Dynamo, a simple key-value store that was built to be highly available and scalable to power various mission-critical applications in Amazon’s e-commerce platform. In 2012, we launched Amazon DynamoDB, the successor to Amazon Dynamo.

We launched DynamoDB last year to address the need for a cloud database that provides seamless scalability, irrespective of whether you are doing ten transactions or ten million transactions, while providing rock solid durability and availability.

This approach can be expressed in more formal way by the following equation: where is the data available for analysis, is the space of a retailer’s actions and decisions, is an econometric model defined as a function of actions and data, and is the optimal strategy. This framework resembles the approach suggested in [JK98].
