Before an organization moves to function as a service, it’s important to understand how it works, its benefits and challenges, its effect on scalability, and why cloud-native observability is essential for attaining peak performance. Cloud providers then manage physical hardware, virtual machines, and web server software management.

Scalability is a significant concern, as databases must handle growing data volumes and user demands while maintaining peak performance. Vertical scaling is also often discussed, which involves increasing the resources of a single server, which can have limitations in hardware capabilities and become costly as demands grow.

This post complements the previous best practice guides this time with the focus on MySQL and MariaDB and achieving top levels of performance with the HammerDB MySQL TPC-C test. As is also the case this limitation is at the database level (especially the storage engine) rather than the hardware level.

Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. It also supports the flexibility and scalability of the database infrastructure.

The immediate (working) goal and requirements of HA architecture The more immediate (and “working” goal) of an HA architecture is to bring together a combination of extensions, tools, hardware, software, etc., No single-point-of-failure (SPOF) : This is both an exclusion and an inclusion for the architecture.

Nevertheless in this blog sometimes we do publish performance data to highlight best practices or potential configuration pitfalls and although we’ve mentioned this one before it is worth dedicating an entire post to it as this issue seems to appear numerous times running database workloads on Linux.

HA in PostgreSQL databases delivers virtually continuous availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery. Also, in general terms, a high availability PostgreSQL solution must cover four key areas: Infrastructure: This is the physical or virtual hardware database systems rely on to run. there cannot be high availability.
