While significant progress has now been made on the clinical side of the crisis, and the success of the vaccination programme is a cause for optimism, the impact on the economy will take longer to heal.

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: MySQL Performance Blog; So your MySQL server has crashed.  What do you do now?  When a server is down, in my opinion, there are two steps that are essential and both are extremely important and neither should be neglected: Save diagnostic information for determining the root cause analysis (RCA). Get the server back up and running. Too many people rush to Step #2 and lose pertinent diagnostics from Step #1.  Likewise, too many people will spend too much time on Step #1 and delay getting to Step #2 and restoring service.  The goal is to collect ...

Feed: AWS Architecture Blog. Scaling based on Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a commonly used design pattern. At AWS Professional Services, we have recently used a variant of this pattern to achieve highly parallel computation for larger customers. In fact, any use case with a tree-like set of entities can use this pattern. It’s useful in a workflow where all nodes between the root and leaves must be processed rapidly and in parallel. Some use cases would be database parent-child records or graph relationships. Let us explore a couple of example scenarios, both hypothetical (COVID contact tracing) and real ... Read More
