Author: joeleslie. A demonstration of Scale-out, Continuous Availability, and Visual MonitoringRUNNING SQL TRANSACTIONS AT SCALE AND WITH CONTINUOUS AVAILABILITY In a blog post earlier this year I outlined how to deploy the NuoDB database in Docker containers. To follow up on that, let's put NuoDB to the test. Your mileage will vary based on the available compute and disk storage used, but our Community Edition on a single host will demonstrate NuoDB's OLTP performance capabilities. If you’d like a full demonstration or want to conduct your own proof of concept test in your environment using our Enterprise Edition, just contact us.  For ... Read More
