This month we’re excited to be participating in two open source database conferences, namely the MariaDB User Conference in New York, M|17, and the Percona Live Conference (formerly known as the MySQL User Conference) in Santa Clara.
And we’re looking forward to presenting, exhibiting and mingling there with fellow open source database enthusiasts.
We’ll have talks at both conferences, and a booth at Percona Live, so do come visit us at booth 411 in the Percona Live Exhibition Hall. We’ll be there to answer any questions you may have on open source database management and automation. And we’re planning to make it a fun place to hang out.
Of course, we look forward to catching up with you as well in New York, if you’re attending the MariaDB conference. See below who our speakers are at both conferences.
These are our talks and speakers at M|17 and Percona Live this month:
Talk @ M|17
Step-By-Step: Clustering with Galera and Docker Swarm
Wednesday, April 12 - 2:10 pm - 3:00 pm
Clustering is an important feature in container technology, as multiple nodes are required to provide redundancy and failover in case of outage. Docker Swarm is an orchestration tool that allows administrators to manage a cluster of Docker nodes as one single virtual system. MariaDB Cluster, however, has its own clustering model based on Galera.
In this talk, we’ll look at how to deploy MariaDB Cluster on Docker Swarm with a multi-host environment, by “homogeneousing” the MariaDB image to achieve high availability and scalability in a fully automated way. We will touch upon service controls, multi-host networking, persistent storage, scaling, fault tolerance, service discovery, and load distribution.
Talks @ Percona Live
Become a MongoDB DBA: monitoring essentials
Tuesday, April 25 - 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM @ Ballroom G
To operate MongoDB efficiently, you need to have insight into database performance. And with that in mind, we’ll dive into monitoring in this talk. MongoDB offers many metrics through various status overviews and commands, but which ones really matter to you? How do you trend and alert on them? What is the meaning behind the metrics?
We’ll discuss the most important ones and describe them in ordinary plain MySQL DBA language. Finally we’ll have a look at the (open source) tools available for MongoDB monitoring and trending and compare them.
MySQL Load Balancers - MaxScale, ProxySQL, HAProxy, MySQL Router & nginx - a close up look
26 April - 11:10 AM - 12:00 PM @ Ballroom D
Load balancing MySQL connections and queries using HAProxy has been popular in the past years. Recently however, we have seen the arrival of MaxScale, MySQL Router, ProxySQL and now also Nginx as a reverse proxy. For which use cases do you use them and how well do they integrate in your environment?
This session aims to give a solid grounding in load balancer technologies for MySQL and MariaDB.
We will review the wide variety of open-source options available: from application connectors (php-mysqlnd, jdbc), TCP reverse proxies (HAproxy, Keepalived, Nginx) and SQL-aware load balancers (MaxScale, ProxySQL, MySQL Router), and look at what considerations you should make when assessing their suitability for your environment.
MySQL (NDB) Cluster Best Practices (Die Hard VIII)
26 April - 3:30 PM - 4:20 PM @ Room 210
MySQL Cluster is a write-scalable, real-time, ACID-compliant transactional database, designed to deliver 99.999% availability. It provides shared-nothing clustering and auto-sharding for MySQL, accessed via SQL and NoSQL interfaces. It is designed to provide high availability and high throughput with low latency, while allowing for near linear scalability. MySQL Cluster is implemented through the NDB or NDBCLUSTER storage engine for MySQL.
In this session we will talk about:
- Core architecture and Design principles of NDB Cluster
- APIs for data access (SQL and NoSQL interfaces)
- Important configuration parameters
- Best practices: indexing and schema
We will also compare performance between MySQL Cluster 7.5 and Galera (MySQL 5.6/5.7), and how to best make use of the feature set of MySQL Cluster 7.5.
So … Happy clustering, and see you in New York, Santa Clara, or maybe both!
