Interestingly, our partner RedHat reported in 2021 that around 80% of deployed workloads are databases or data caches, storing data in persistent volume claims (PVCs). You also decide to run your database for storing user uploads – such as images or videos – directly in Kubernetes. However, you lack insights into your PVCs.

PostgreSQL is a fantastic database, but if you’re storing images, video, audio files, or other large data objects, you need to “toast” them to get optimal performance. This post will look at using The Oversized-Attribute Storage Technique (TOAST) to improve performance and scalability.

The Green Web Foundation maintains an ever-growing database of web hosts who are either wholly powered by renewable energy or are at least committed to being carbon neutral. An obvious metric here is CPU usage, but memory usage and other forms of data storage also play their part. Are we embedding YouTube videos?

Data scientists and engineers collect this data from our subscribers and videos, and implement data analytics models to discover customer behaviour with the goal of maximizing user joy. Therefore, we must efficiently move data from the data warehouse to a global, low-latency and highly-reliable key-value store.

For instance, video playback functionality on Netflix involves requesting URLs for the streams from a service, calling the CDN to download the bits from the streams, requesting a license to decrypt the streams from a separate service, and sending telemetry indicating the successful start of playback to yet another service.

Paravirtualization**: The hypervisor provides efficient hypercalls, and the guest OS uses drivers and kernel modifications to call these hypercalls. Enter paravirtualization, originally introduced in Xen, where the guest has been modified to be aware of the hypervisor and to make efficient hypercalls. The AMI and boot are now HVM.
