Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Tiago L. Alves; Gaming, banking, telcos, and online services all are powered by fully-redundant and fault-tolerant software systems. At the heart of those systems, you can find MySQL Cluster — a distributed in-memory database having a minimum of five-9s availability (around 5 minutes a year). This open-source database provides nearly-linear scalability and real-time querying predictability at the microsecond level.To achieve such higher availability it’s crucial to ensure that each release is thoroughly validated. Thousands of automated tests are run daily, for different versions and platforms to ensure defects are detected early and fixed. Testing is everyone’s ... Read More

Feed: Radar. Author: Roger Magoulas and Chris Guzikowski. Attend the O’Reilly Software Architecture Conference in New York, February 23-26, 2020 to learn the latest serverless methods and tools. For the inaugural O’Reilly survey on serverless architecture adoption, we were pleasantly surprised at the high level of response: more than 1,500 respondents from a wide range of locations, companies, and industries participated. The high response rate tells us that serverless is garnering significant mindshare in the community.1 Key findings from the survey include: Learn faster. Dig deeper. See farther. 40% of respondents work at organizations that have adopted serverless architecture in ... Read More

Feed: Clustrix Blog. Author: MariaDB. This is the first in a series of short lightboard talks highlighting popular database topics. In this five-minute session, you’ll learn how the MariaDB MaxScale database proxy works with multiple MariaDB instances to support high availability using a primary/replica architecture. Video Transcript Hi, my name is Manjot Singh. I’m here to talk to you about MariaDB’s classic replication model. A lot of times you have a primary server and you have an application. That application connects to that primary server and does its work – it saves data, reads data. And what you may have ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Fredric Paul. Released in October 2018, the Redis Enterprise Kubernetes Operator is only about a year old, but multiple customers are already using it to run Redis Enterprise clusters in production. Now, as we celebrate our Kubernetes Operator’s first birthday, we are adding another powerful Day-2 operations enabler to its toolset: Automated cluster recovery.  For the first time, a Kubernetes Operator can manage a stateful service as if it were stateless, transforming how system operators and developers test, deploy, and manage Redis across environments.   A shard orchestration platform For some background, the Redis Enterprise cluster is ...

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Mark Beccue. Facebook Messenger is becoming a real force in the enterprise virtual digital assistant (VDA) space as a host platform/channel. The greatly publicized number of 100,000 chatbots on the platform may be slightly misleading in terms of how Tractica defines the key enterprise use cases for chatbots. However, over the next few years, the Messenger platform is well positioned to become a significant channel for business application VDAs. Claims that Messenger is compelling for both enterprises and consumers may be a reach. Facebook reported that, as of September 2017, there were 1.3 billion monthly ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Manoj Sahi. The modular design approach, or modularity, subdivides a system into smaller and similar parts called modules, which can be customized, upgraded, repaired, scaled, and reused. The concept of modularity is not new and can be traced back to World War II, when Otto Merker investigated how modularity could be implemented in constructing German U-boats. IBM launched modular architecture for personal computers in 1980, and today, modularity is a well-known term in the world of robotics. In the late 1980s, the concept of applying a common connection mechanism to the entire robot was introduced ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: ajit jaokar. Artificial Intelligence – Cloud and Edge implementations takes an engineering-led approach for the deployment of AI to Edge devices within the framework of the cloud. We often use the word ‘engineering’ in casual conversation. However, in this context, we attach a specific meaning to Engineering. Engineering is the use of scientific principles to design and build machines, structures, and other items, including bridges, tunnels, roads, vehicles, and buildings. The American Engineers' Council for Professional Development defines engineering as: (specific emphasis of interest highlighted) The creative application of scientific principles to design or develop structures, ...

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Mark Beccue. Between 2008 and 2015, augmented reality (AR) was a technology gimmick looking for a market. Leveraging devices like smartphones, tablets, and, starting in 2012, smart glasses, innovators struggled with technical limitations, hype, and weak use cases. In mid-2015, the market began a time of recalibration. While the announcements about Apple’s ARKit and Google’s Android ARCore are splashy headlines, Tractica does not believe they will have significant impact in enterprise AR market adoption (explaining why is a blog post topic for another time) for some time. The most significant developments since 2015 in that ... Read More
