It both saddens and angers me that I need to write this post. Percona supports the people of Ukraine and condemns the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation regime. The needless loss of life, destruction of property, and displacement of millions of people, as well as separation of families, is horrifying and simply wrong. [&]

A little bit ago, I released a blog post comparing the backup performance of different MySQL tools such as mysqldump, the MySQL Shell feature called Instance Dump, mysqlpump, mydumper, and Percona XtraBackup.

I recently blogged about how Patroni Addresses the Problem of the Logical Replication Slot Failover in a PostgreSQL Cluster.

Thanks to the [&]

One approach to get to know a MongoDB system we are not familiar with is to start by checking the busiest collections. MongoDB provides the top administrative command for this purpose. From the mongo shell, we can run db.adminCommand(top) to get a snapshot of all the collections at a specific point in time: [crayon-6210befa18781201127048/] In [&]

It is always hard to select a CPU for your own purpose. You could waste hours reviewing different benchmarks, reviews, and bloggers, and in the end, we would limit all our requirements to performance and price.
