This week, we announced support for MongoDB on the CloudZero Platform.

Data Warehouse vs Database: Comparing Common Data Storage

Knowing the differences between data warehouses and databases can clear up a lot of confusion for many people, especially with the volume of data we have these days. In this blog post, I'll discuss the differences between these two types of data systems. I'll also provide some examples to help illustrate the points we make. Let's get started!

8 Redis Monitoring Tools To Check Out

The open-source data platform Redis, based on in-memory data, is complicated enough when hosted only on one server. Therefore, a critical aspect of Redis management is monitoring its performance. Despite serving a vast number of queries, Redis is known for its low latency response time. Keeping track of your Redis instance's performance can be done by monitoring certain vital metrics. As well as storing data in memory and on disk simultaneously, Redis stands apart from most other databases.

Discover Database Servers In 3 Steps

I recently had a cloud migration client who was at the beginning stage of their discovery phase and looking to jump straight to “which database platforms should I be using in the cloud?” - a tall ask you might say, but following the three steps below they were able to discover and analyze all of their database servers in just two weeks.

Troubleshooting Azure SQL Database Performance Issues

Database Backups - Cloud 66 Demo

Cloud 66 supports two types of backups: managed and unmanaged. Managed backups: Using managed backups has several benefits: The 100 most recent managed backups are kept by default. Unmanaged backups: Unmanaged backups are stored on your local server and are available under `/var/cloud66/backups`. The 10 most recent unmanaged backups are kept by default. We don’t charge for unmanaged backups. What is Cloud 66? Cloud 66 gives you everything you need to build, deploy and maintain your applications on any cloud, without the headache of dealing with “server stuff”.

Database Replications - Cloud 66 Demo

Database replication involves configuring a master and replica database architecture, whereby the replica is an exact copy of the master at all times. This feature is supported for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis and MongoDB. Database replication can be set up for a single application, between applications, or between database groups. What is Cloud 66? Cloud 66 gives you everything you need to build, deploy and maintain your applications on any cloud, without the headache of dealing with “server stuff”.

Upgrading Databases - Cloud 66 Demo

Cloud 66 will not do in-place database upgrades, because this process may cause your application to stop working or may not be possible automatically. To upgrade your database through Cloud 66, we recommend that you create a new application (at which point Cloud 66 will deploy the newer database version). Once the new application is created, you can migrate data from your old application to your new application.

Enabling digital transformation - and data modernization - with DevOps
