In today's fast-paced software development landscape, microservices have emerged as a popular architectural pattern. But what exactly are microservices? In a nutshell, microservices are a way of structuring an application as a collection of loosely coupled, fine-grained services that communicate through lightweight protocols. This architectural style enables teams to develop and deploy services independently, offering flexibility and scalability to the software development process.

Historically MySQL is great in horizontal READ scale. The scaling, in that case, is offered by the different number of Replica nodes, no matter if using standard asynchronous replication or synchronous replication. However, those solutions do not offer the same level of scaling for writes operation. Why? Because the solutions still rely on writing in one single node that works as Primary.

Scalability and low latency are crucial for any application that relies on real-time data. One way to achieve this is by storing data closer to the users. In this post, we'll discuss how you can use YugabyteDB and its read replica nodes to improve the read latency for users across the globe.

Motivation CockroachDB makes multi-region simple. When CockroachDB spans geographically, we often need to add a minimum of two more regions for a multi-region cluster. This unique capability has many strengths but it comes at a cost. Oftentimes, our customers demand CockroachDB be available in regions where we see low demand, and bringing those regions online is not cost-effective to the organization.

A horizontally scalable exabyte-scale blob storage system which operates out of multiple regions, Magic Pocket is used to store all of Dropbox’s data. Adopting SMR technology and erasure codes, the system has extremely high durability guarantees but is cheaper than operating in the cloud.

As I write this my interview on DevCentral hasn't started yet so if you subscribe to my blog or follow me on YouTube or LinkedIn , you might be able to catch it live. If not the recording should appear right here: Either way, this isn't the first time I wrote about or talked about logging and the common pitfalls we see when logging in production or debugging.
