A Dedicated Log Volume (DLV) is a specialized storage volume designed to house database transaction logs separately from the volume containing the database tables. This separation aims to streamline transaction write logging, improving efficiency and consistency. What is a Dedicated Log Volume (DLV)? 2xlarge c5.2xlarge MySQL 8.0.31

Redis Data Types and Structures The design of Redis’s data structures emphasizes versatility. Snapshots provide point-in-time captures of the dataset, which are efficient for recovery on startup. It is designed to cache plain text values, offering fast read and write access to frequently accessed data.

An opening scene involving a traffic jam of Viking boats and a musical number (“Love Can’t Afjord to wait”). These systems were designed to have a lifetime of half a decade or more, and rapidly changing hardware meant that the initial deployment had to be sized for 5-7 years out. Vikings fight zombies.

Last time around we looked at the DeathStarBench suite of microservices-based benchmark applications and learned that microservices systems can be especially latency sensitive, and that hotspots can propagate through a microservices architecture in interesting ways.

To be clear, these languages were not designed to be fast or space-efficient, but for ease of use. Unfortunately, languages like Python have proven resistant to efficient implementation, partly because of their design, and partly because of limitations imposed by the need to interop with C code.

When designing an architecture, many components need to be considered before deciding on the best solution. In this scenario, it is also crucial to be efficient in resource utilization and scaling with frugality. This is due to the multiplexing and the very efficient way ProxySQL uses to deal with high load.

With its support for MySQL and PostgreSQL, and its automated replication and backup capabilities, it’s designed to deliver high performance, scalability, and availability to meet the needs of mission-critical applications. This eliminates the need for complex or scripted backup procedures and designated backup windows.

Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial. Contended, over-subscribed cells can make “fast” networks brutally slow, transport variance can make TCP much less efficient , and the bursty nature of web traffic works against us.
