Compression Methods in MongoDB: Snappy vs. Zstd

Percona

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. As the amount of data grows, the need for efficient data compression becomes increasingly important to save storage space, reduce I/O overhead, and improve query performance.

Fixing Misplaced Rows in a Partitioned Table

Percona

A partitioned table in MySQL has its data separated into different tablespaces while still being viewed as a single table. Partitioning can be a useful approach in some cases when handling huge sets of data. Deleting huge data sets could be quickened up in a partitioned table, but if not handled properly, it can misplace your data in the table. In this blog, I will share how to check and fix the data in such a table with minimal disruption to the table.

ProxySQL is a great load balancer which however suffers from some shortcomings concerning the management of MySQL users. ProxySQL provides a firewall which, in my case, is not complete enough to properly manage users and secure their access. Indeed, this firewall does not accept subnets and keeps unauthorized connections in ProxySQL. We cannot then be sure of not suffering a DDOS attack on our ProxySQL instance.
