What you need to know to successfully run databases in production on Kubernetes

The Kubernetes community has made significant progress when it comes to easily deploying stateful services like databases. But what happens on Day 2? Day 2 operations are all about managing an application when things go wrong: nodes fail, networks are partitioned, a CVE comes out requiring a new version of Kubernetes to be deployed and all running apps upgraded.

How to Monitor Amazon DynamoDB with CloudWatch

Amazon DynamoDB is a key-value and document database that allows you to easily scale to huge numbers of records with single digit millisecond performance. However, since it’s a managed service, you have less visibility with traditional monitoring tools. As such, it becomes even more important to take advantage of the available monitoring tools in AWS. In this post, we’ll explain how to use CloudWatch to monitor DynamoDB and what is important to watch.

Collect Amazon DocumentDB metrics and logs with Datadog

Amazon DocumentDB is an AWS-managed document database service that supports MongoDB, the well known open source database. As a managed service, AWS automatically handles database management tasks, autoscales database clusters, and backs up your data to S3. DocumentDB implements the Apache 2.0 open source MongoDB 3.6 API, making it easy to migrate your existing MongoDB workloads to DocumentDB.

SolarWinds Extends IT Operations Management Leadership to Include Intelligent Anomaly Detection

New capability in Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) 12.1 accelerates problem identification; accompanied by broad portfolio updates to improve monitoring support for private cloud and converged infrastructure

How to Monitor Amazon RDS with CloudWatch

Amazon RDS allows you to store your application data in databases without having to actually manage the servers the databases are hosted on. It also allows you to easily set up read replicas and take snapshots of your database. However, since it’s a managed service, you have less visibility with traditional monitoring tools. As such, it becomes even more important to take advantage of the available monitoring tools in AWS.

Deploying Redis Cluster on top of Kubernetes

Redis (which stands for REmote DIctionary Server) is an open source, in-memory datastore, often used as a database, cache or message broker. It can store and manipulate high-level data types like lists, maps, sets, and sorted sets. Because Redis accepts keys in a wide range of formats, operations can be executed on the server, which reduces the client’s workload. It holds its database entirely in memory, only using the disk for persistence.
