Now that Database-as-a-service (DBaaS) is in high demand, there are multiple questions regarding AWS services that cannot always be answered easily: When should I use Aurora and when should I use RDS MySQL ? What we should really compare is the MySQL and Aurora database engines provided by Amazon RDS.

Redis® is an in-memory database that provides blazingly fast performance. This makes it a compelling alternative to disk-based databases when performance is a concern. Redis returns a big list of database metrics when you run the info command on the Redis shell. This blog post lists the important database metrics to monitor.

Among the different components of modern software solutions, the database is one of the most critical. There are many times we get asked why some cloud instance performed poorly for their database application and almost always turned out to be some configuration error. For storage, FIO is generally used. Database: MySQL 8.0.31

This removes the burden of purchasing and maintaining your hardware, storage and networking infrastructure, while still giving you a very familiar experience with Windows and SQL Server itself. You will still have to maintain your operating system, SQL Server and databases just like you would in an on-premises scenario.

Durability: “In database systems , durability is the ACID property which guarantees transactions that have committed will survive permanently. For example, if a flight booking reports that a seat has successfully been booked, then the seat will remain booked even if the system crashes.” – [link]. The Back Story.

One of the common ways to classify database workloads is whether it is “read intensive” or “write intensive”. 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.

The protections are hardware implemented and cannot be forged in software. At hardware reset the boot code is granted maximally permissive architectural capabilities.
