What I want to cover in this blog post is how I think platforms should be structured, and why it’s always plural, there isn’t one platform or one platform team.

Cosmos DB as Key Object Store

DZone

Cosmos DB can be a good candidate for a key-value store. Cosmos DB is a multimodal database in Azure that supports schema-less storage. By default, Cosmos DB containers tend to index all the fields of a document uploaded. We can limit the index properties only to id and partitionkey to make the container a pure key-value store. Prohibiting other fields to be indexed increases performance and reduces RU to query point records.

Node metrics available inside of a container

Percona Community

Several people asked me this question: Could we get Node metrics inside of a container? Usually, this comes from the fact that PMM or standalone people run node_exporter inside a container. PMM does it as a sidecar along with many other exporters to monitor DBs, and node_exporter comes out of the box as a default one. So people could see accurate data on dashboards, like Memory and CPU, that node_exporter reads inside the container.
