If you are learning about databases and Kubernetes or running or migrating PostgreSQL to Kubernetes, I want to show you a great open-source tool for database monitoring and troubleshooting. I will discuss a tool to help you better understand your database, its parameters, and its health. You can access a Query Analytics tool to help you find slow queries. In addition, you will have dashboards to monitor the Kubernetes cluster itself. In the previous article, I discussed the pgAdmin and PostgreSQL cluster created using Percona Everest. Today, I installed Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) in my cluster, made some test…

Strong Performance with EC2, Lambda, and the Momento SDK for Rust

stp2y0 CommentsNewsarchitecture, aws, coding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, rust, serverless, software

I wrote recently about Mind Boggling Speed with Caching with Momento and Rust and wanted to continue in that theme as I explore the Momento SDK for Rust. Caching is a technique that builders reach for when looking to accomplish either improved performance or reduce the burden on resource-dependent parts of an application. It might also be a choice when looking to save costs if an operation is charged per read such as with DynamoDB. In any of those scenarios, caching must be fast. But caching must not also introduce a high amount of complexity. This is where I love…

What is Associative Arrays in Computer Science

stp2y0 CommentsNewsbeginners, coding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, programming, software, tutorial, webdev

In computer science, an associative array, map, symbol table, or dictionary is an abstract data type that stores a collection of (key, value) pairs, such that each possible key appears at most once in the collection. In mathematical terms, an associative array is a function with a finite domain. It supports 'lookup', 'remove', and 'insert' operations. The Dictionary Problem The dictionary problem is the classic problem of designing efficient data structures that implement associative arrays. The two major solutions to the dictionary problem are hash tables and search trees. It is sometimes also possible to solve the problem using directly…

Scaling databases with AWS RDS and read replicas

stp2y0 CommentsNewsaws, cloud, coding, community, database, development, engineering, inclusive, software, tutorial

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Relational Database Service (RDS) is a managed service that simplifies the process of configuring, operating, and scaling a relational database in the cloud. AWS RDS is a versatile choice that supports several database engines including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, MariaDB, Microsoft SQL Server, and Amazon's own Aurora. Advantages of using RDS over a self hosted database Managed Service - AWS RDS is a fully managed service, which means that AWS takes care of provisioning, patching, backup, recovery, and even scaling. This allows developers and database administrators to focus on the application development and optimization rather than managing…

Generative AI, or the Large Language Models, is by far one of the most exciting technologies we have seen. It has far-reaching consequences, impacting various fields. Site Reliability Engineering is currently experiencing its moment, with GenAI revolutionizing operations. I refer to this as SRE 2.0, a new and improved version of SRE powered by GenAI. What really is an LLM? Before delving deeper, let's examine LLMs. A Large Language Model (LLM) is a type of artificial intelligence model developed to process and generate human-like text at scale. These models are trained on vast amounts of text data and can perform…

Data Validation is super important, don’t ignore or delay it.

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, software, softwareengineering, typescript

I often encounter backend codebases where data isn't validated before being processed or inserted directly into the database. This can cause serious bugs, as relying solely on your frontend buddy can lead to headaches, ruin the flow, result in unwanted and unexpected data in the database, and make you vulnerable to SQL injection if you are using an SQL database. What's the solution then?I agree that data validation is a must, but it isn't always easy to get right. Here's what you can do: Don't trust anyone. Validating data involves four crucial steps: Check the type. Validate the format. Refine…
