Industry News & Events

Ever wondered where to start learning to get trained in PostgreSQL? In this blog we will walk you through all the official PostgreSQL community resources and everything you need to become a PostgreSQL expert.

Is the future of database management autonomous? Oracle has developed the world’s first Autonomous Database, which guarantees to cut your cloud services bill by more than half. In fact, it’s the cheapest database on the market today. In this blog we explore the ideas behind autonomous databases and how they may affect your infrastructure.

Autonomous Database eliminates complexity, human error, and manual management, helping to ensure higher reliability, security, and more operational efficiency at the lowest cost.

This blog is about Database diagram tools for PostgreSQL. It summarizes the main features, OS dependency, PostgreSQL version support and licensing information of the diagram tools suggested by the PostgreSQL community.

This blog provides an overview of the new features and functions of MariaDB Cluster 10.4. Based on Galera Cluster from Codership, MariaDB Cluster is a synchronous multi-master database cluster that runs on Linux.

In the new time-series database world, TimescaleDB and InfluxDB are two popular options with fundamentally different architectures. One is based off a relational database, PostgreSQL, the other build as a NoSQL engine. In this blog, we’ll give you a short description of those two, and how they stack against each other.

ProxySQL 2.0 has been released recently with quite a few interesting features, including causal reads, SSL for frontend connections and native support for Galera Cluster. In this blog post, we will explore these new features.

ClusterControl 1.7.2 includes support for TimescaleDB, MySQL 8.0 and Maxscale 2.2 as well as improved support for PostgreSQL monitoring & backups. It also launches two new features, CC Spotlight (a new search tool) and CMON HA (distributed fault-tolerant controllers).

Choosing which DB engine to use between all the options we have today is not an easy task. An that is just the beginning. After deciding which engine to use, you need to learn about it and actually deploy it to play with it. In this whitepaper we’ll show you how to install, configure and secure some of the most popular open source DB engines.

Couchbase was designed as a masterless, clustered, and replicated distributed database with the consistent seamless user experience. In this blog, we will take a look at Couchbase architecture principles.

This blog provides a high-level look at databases and the telecommunications industry as well as provides examples of the challenges of three ClusterControl users who are in the space.

This whitepaper covers information about MySQL Replication, with information about the latest features introduced in 5.6, 5.7 and 8.0. There is also a more hands-on, practical section on how to quickly deploy and manage a replication setup using ClusterControl.

eCommerce is a continually growing market, but with the explosive growth comes challenges when managing the databases.  In this blog we look at three of our ClusterControl users and how they have tackled some of these challenges.

Time-series databases have emerged as a best-in-class approach for storing and analyzing huge amounts of data generated by users and IoT devices.But what are time-series databases? Why have they become so important in the database landscape? In this blog post, we try to shed some light on the subject.

Watch the replay of this webinar in which we walk you through all you need to know to plan and execute a successful migration from Oracle database to MariaDB.

Watch the replay of our webinar on how to automate and manage PostgreSQL with ClusterControl. Sebastian Insausti, Support Engineer at Severalnines, will introduce us to the world of PostgreSQL ops automation: from the ‘old ways’ to the modern way of managing PostgreSQL; including a look at ClusterControl’s integrated approach to deployment, monitoring, performance management, scaling, upgrades and backup, delivered as an integrated suite that plugs into your favourite tools.

ClusterControl’s new agent-based monitoring of MongoDB with Prometheus offers dashboards with graphs of high resolution metrics data. In this blog, we will have a look at the different graphs that are available to users.

MariaDB TX is a subscription in which MariaDB combines multiple offerings building a fully-featured, transactional database. The database used in MariaDB TX is MariaDB Server 10.3, which also includes Galera Cluster for synchronous multi-master replication. For the proxy layer MariaDB TX uses MaxScale.

This blog provides an overview of the key new features which were added to MongoDB in 2018 and how you can use them in your database setup.
