Migrating a live production database is heart surgery on a runner. This guide covers replication strategies for MySQL 5.7 and PostgreSQL 9.6, handling NIX latency, and why NVMe storage matters for data integrity.
A battle-hardened guide to database sharding strategies using MySQL 5.7 and MongoDB 3.2. We cover application-level partitioning, UUID vs. Ticket Servers, and why low-latency infrastructure in Norway is critical for distributed consistency.
Migrating a live production database without killing your uptime is a surgical procedure. We break down the Master-Slave swing strategy, disk I/O bottlenecks, and why keeping your data on Norwegian soil is the smartest compliance move you can make right now.
Moving a live database doesn't have to be a game of Russian Roulette. We explore battle-tested strategies using Master-Slave replication, Percona XtraBackup, and high-performance local storage to keep your uptime intact.
When your monolithic database hits the I/O wall, vertical scaling isn't enough. We dive deep into practical sharding strategies, implementation pitfalls, and why infrastructure latency is the silent killer of distributed data.
Migrating a live production database doesn't have to end in disaster. Learn the replication-first strategy using Percona XtraBackup and SSH tunnels to ensure data integrity and minimal latency across the NIX ecosystem.
Is your database thrashing your disk I/O? We dive deep into my.cnf optimization, the MyISAM vs. InnoDB debate, and why hardware virtualization matters for latency in 2011.
With Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems shaking the open source community, the choice between MySQL and PostgreSQL has never been more critical. We benchmark the new PostgreSQL 9.0 against MySQL 5.1 to see which database engine belongs on your production servers.
Is your MySQL server choking under load? In 2010, the bottleneck is almost always the disk. Learn how to tune my.cnf, switch to InnoDB, and why hardware RAID matters for Norwegian hosting.
Is your LAMP stack buckling under load? It's likely your database configuration. We dive deep into my.cnf optimization, the MyISAM vs. InnoDB debate, and why disk I/O is the silent killer of Norwegian web applications.
Is your site crawling during peak traffic? It's likely your database configuration. We dive into my.cnf optimization, the critical move to InnoDB, and why low latency to NIX matters for Norwegian web applications in 2010.
Is your database locking up under traffic spikes? Stop using MyISAM. We dive deep into my.cnf optimization, the InnoDB Plugin, and why disk I/O on 15k SAS drives (or SSDs) matters more than CPU for Norwegian VPS hosting.
With Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems shaking up the open-source world, choosing between MySQL 5.1 and PostgreSQL 8.4 is critical. We analyze storage engines, table locking, and performance on Nordic infrastructure.
With the release of PostgreSQL 8.4 and the uncertainty surrounding Sun Microsystems, the database debate has shifted. We break down the ACID compliance vs. read-speed trade-off for your VPS.
With the Oracle-Sun acquisition looming, the database landscape in 2009 is shifting. We benchmark MySQL 5.1 against the newly released PostgreSQL 8.4 to help you decide.
Replication lag kills data integrity. We analyze how low-latency infrastructure in Oslo and NVMe storage solve synchronization issues for high-traffic databases.
