As the AI revolution surges forward, promising significant innovations, it also introduced new types of vector databases. A vector database stores data as high-dimensional vectors called embeddings, which are mathematical representations of features or attributes...

In part I of this blog series, we talked about what a Sovereign DBaaS is and how you can use a software orchestrator such as Netflix Conductor to realize a Sovereign DBaaS in real life....

Previously, we announced a new ClusterControl 1.7.4 feature called Cluster-to-Cluster Replication. It automates the entire process of setting up a disaster recovery cluster off your primary cluster, with replication in between. With this feature: One...

NoSQL ("not only SQL") is an approach to database design that enables the storage and querying of data outside the traditional structures found in relational databases. It was created to primarily deal with unstructured data...

A key-value database is a type of non-relational database that uses a simple key-value method to store data. A key-value database stores data as a collection of key-value pairs in which a key serves as...

Sometimes it is hard to manage a large amount of data in a company, especially with the exponential increment of Data Analytics and IoT usage. Depending on the size, this amount of data could affect...

For all who are not familiar with Vitess, it is a MySQL-based database system that is intended to deliver an easy-to-scale, sharded, relational database management system. We will not get into details about the design...

MariaDB offers built-in multi-host sharding capabilities with the Spider storage engine. Spider supports partitioning and XA transactions and allows remote tables of different MariaDB instances to be handled as if they were on the same...

Redis Cluster with automatic partitioning uses a cool approach in organizing and storing the data, where the keys are stored in a hash slot and the keyspace is split into 16384 slots. Each master node...
