Observability platform vs. observability tools

Dynatrace

Metrics are measures of critical system values, such as CPU utilization or average write latency to persistent storage. But by 2015, it was more common to split up monolithic applications into distributed systems. A database could start executing a storage management process that consumes database server resources.

MariaDB vs MySQL: Key Differences and Use Cases

Percona

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

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.

But not all workloads: some are network bound (proxies) and storage bound (databases). ## 5. The AMI and boot are now HVM.

Using Parallel Query with Amazon Aurora for MySQL

Percona

now has a version which will support parallelism for SELECT queries (utilizing the read capacity of storage nodes underneath the Aurora cluster). I’m using the “Airlines On-Time Performance” database from [link] (You can find the scripts I used here: [link] ). SSD) we can’t utilize the full potential of IOPS with just one thread.

Futzing and moseying: interviews with professional data analysts on exploration practices

The Morning Paper

The only caveat to the results is that the interviews were conducted in 2015, and this is a fast-moving space. Only 18 of the 30 participants mentioned using databases and related tools (that statement caused a significant recalibration in my mind, I would have guessed much closer to 100%!). SQL databases and spreadsheets (of course!!)
