MongoDB Rollback: How to Minimize Data Loss

Scalegrid

For example, memory-resident databases without persistent disks, such as Redis cluster setups or Apache Spark installations, rely on stand-alone machines. To traditional relational databases, where rollbacks are less likely to cause data loss, MongoDB differs significantly.

Percentiles don’t work: Analyzing the distribution of response times for web services

Adrian Cockcroft

The mean and percentile measurements hide this structure, but the rest of this post will show how the structure can be measured and analyzed so that you can figure out a useful model of your system, understand what is driving the long tail of latencies and come up with better SLAs and measures of capacity.

Expanding the Cloud – An AWS Region is coming to Hong Kong

All Things Distributed

This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience. In 2008, AWS opened a point of presence (PoP) in Hong Kong to enable customers to serve content to their end users with low latency. Since then, AWS has added two more PoPs in Hong Kong, the latest in 2016.

Deprecated features to take out of your toolbox – Part 1

SQL Performance

Recently one of our teams was investigating a log reader latency issue. We pay a lot of attention to latency here, along with any long-running transactions, because of downstream impact to technologies that use the log reader – like Availability Groups and transactional replication.

WAL Compression in PostgreSQL and Recent Improvements in Version 15

Percona

Some of the built-in features ( wal_compression ) have been there since 2016, and almost all backup tools do the WAL compression before taking it to the backup repository. Such “torn pages” are corruptions from the database point of view. Individual processes generate WAL records, and latency is very crucial for transactions.

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

SQL Server According to Bob

Our customers who deployed Availability Groups were now using servers for primary and secondary replicas with 12+ core sockets and flash storage SSD arrays providing microsecond to low millisecond latencies. However, if you are looking to accelerate your hardware, our Always On Availability Group design for SQL Server 2016 can keep pace.

The Performance Inequality Gap, 2021

Alex Russell

Back in 2016, I gave a talk outlining the causes and effects of the terrible performance of web apps built using popular tools on the fastest-growing device segment: low-end to mid-range Android phones. In 2016, Jio swept over the subcontinent like a monsoon dropping a torrent of 4G infrastructure and free data rather than rain.
