The use of open source databases has increased steadily in recent years. Past trepidation — about perceived vulnerabilities and performance issues — has faded as decision makers realize what an “open source database” really is and what it offers. What is an open source database?

Managing vast datasets effectively is an essential requirement for modern applications, and MongoDB , a leading NoSQL database, offers robust solutions for this requirement. But how does MongoDB handle pagination, and how can you optimize it for better performance? This can be expressed as db.collection_name.find().limit(number).

MySQL is a free open source relational database management system that is leveraged across a majority of WordPress sites, and allows you to query your data such as posts, pages, images, user profiles, and more. Managing a database is hard, as it needs continuous updating, tuning, and monitoring to ensure the performance of your website.

This means you no longer have to provision, scale, and maintain servers to run your applications, databases, and storage systems. Speed is next; serverless solutions are quick to spin up or down as needed, and there are no delays due to limited storage or resource access. AWS offers four serverless offerings for storage.

To make data count and to ensure cloud computing is unabated, companies and organizations must have highly available databases. A basic high availability database system provides failover (preferably automatic) from a primary database node to redundant nodes within a cluster. HA is sometimes confused with “fault tolerance.”

Compression in any database is necessary as it has many advantages, like storage reduction, data transmission time, etc. Storage reduction alone results in significant cost savings, and we can save more data in the same space. Block compression can improve performance by allowing data to be read and written in smaller chunks.
