It offers automated installation, upgrades, and life cycle management throughout the container stack — the operating system, Kubernetes and cluster services, and applications — on any cloud. Microservices architecture combines loosely-coupled functions to create high-performing applications. The result?

Percona software is designed for peak performance, uncompromised security, limitless scalability, and disaster-proofed availability. It is the most stable, scalable, and secure open source MySQL distribution based on Percona Server for MySQL. Release highlights include: Docker images are now available for x86_64 architectures.

This comprehensive overview examines open source database architecture, types, pros and cons, uses by industry, and how open source databases compare with proprietary databases. Further, open source databases can be modified in infinite ways, enabling institutions to meet their specific needs for data storage, retrieval, and processing.

These may be performance, high availability, operational cost, management, capacity planning, scalability, security, monitoring, etc. There are also cases where although the workload and operational needs seem to best fit to one solution, there are other limiting factors that may be blockers (or at least need special handling).

High Scalability

NOVEMBER 25, 2019

It is limited by the disk space; it can’t expand storage elastically; it chokes if you run few I/O intensive processes or try collaborating with 100 other users. Over time, costs for S3 and GCS became reasonable and with Egnyte’s storage plugin architecture, our customers can now bring in any storage backend of their choice.

Without data backup mechanisms, there can be data loss or system downtime. Even worse, entire operating systems can crash, also resulting in data loss. An incremental backup, which is faster and requires less storage than a full backup, captures changes made since the previous backup. This helps minimize downtime.

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.”

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. You can also choose to look at event counts or at the time it takes to do operations. Not all writes are equal either.

I became the Sun UK local specialist in performance and hardware, and as Sun transitioned from a desktop workstation company to sell high end multiprocessor servers I was helping customers find and fix scalability problems. We had specializations in hardware, operating systems, databases, graphics, etc.

For example, the IMDG must be able to efficiently create millions of objects in each server to make use of its huge storage capacity. We believe that installing our software should be as straightforward as we can make it, requiring minimal knowledge of the host operating system and the fewest possible explicit configuration settings.

Looking back over the past 10 years, there are hundreds of lessons that we’ve learned about building and operating services that need to be secure, reliable, scalable, with predictable performance at the lowest possible cost. To do this, we needed to build management APIs that control the key functionality of our operations.

Keeping progressive enhancement as the guiding principle of your front-end architecture and deployment is a safe bet. You could examine your framework candidates and the proposed architecture, and study how most solutions out there perform, e.g. with server-side rendering or client-side rendering, on average.
