Feed: Blog – ArangoDB. Author: Max Neunhöffer. Recently, we decided to investigate why our application ARANGOSYNC for synchronizing two ArangoDB clusters across data centers used up a lot of memory – around 2GB in certain cases. The environment contained ~1500 shards with 5000 GOroutines. Thanks to tools like pprof (to profile CPU and memory usage) it was very easy to identify the issue. The GO profiler showed us that memory was allocated in the function time.After() and it accumulated up to nearly 1GB. The memory was not released so it was clear that we had a memory leak. We will explain ... Read More

Feed: Clustrix Blog. Author: Rob Hedgpeth. Nearly a year ago, I accepted an offer to work on the developer relations team at MariaDB Corporation. I remember feeling pretty apprehensive and a little overwhelmed leading up to my first day. To be completely transparent, I didn’t have any previous experience using MariaDB. My first project was to write an application using React.js and Node.js built on MariaDB – oh and I had to present it in front of the entire company in two weeks. No big deal, right?Sure, throughout my years as an application developer I’d spent time working with relational ... Read More
