Feed: Redis. Author: Ross Owens. If you believe Ralph Waldo Emerson, a foolish consistency may be the hobgoblin of little minds, but when it comes to implementing a scalable, successful enterprise-level caching strategy, there’s nothing foolish about consistency. In fact, one of the greatest challenges in managing the operation of an enterprise database is maintaining cache consistency. Why do we bother with caches in the first place?

That database is SingleStore. SingleStore runs demanding production workloads for some of the world's largest financial, telecom, high-tech and energy companies. These customers use ... Read More

When one is at overcapacity, it’s sealed off to prevent leakage. Meanwhile, deep beneath the surface, the trash continues to decompose, creating many toxic byproducts such as leachate, which is contaminated water. Carbon monoxide is also produced, contributing to rising CO2 levels in our air.  What’s just as harrowing is that 50% of this landfill trash is compostable, reusable, and recyclable. Recognizing that this is completely avoidable, Rajesh Ramamurthy has ... Read More

To keep your head above the water and overtake your competition, it’s crucial that you optimize all areas of performance to keep players tethered to your game. The smallest deficiency in your game is enough to snap users out of focus and create tension. Players are brutal in their expectations and won’t stomach any shortcomings, and if they do they’ll simply switch to a game that can meet their demands. Real-time data is essential ... Read More
