Keeping databases running consistently and continuously is crucial to many organizations. When your site or application fails to load because of problems with your databases, you risk losing revenues—especially a business with a high traffic site which is the main source of revenues. If it happens often enough, you’ll lose not only transactions but customers.

There are many reasons why a database system may be unavailable, or at least not consistently available. It could be straightforward problems with your databases, or it could be hardware limitations. There are several potentially weak components of a database system. It’s important to know where are the potential weak points and to have a clear sense of what’s required to maintain a highly available database system.

If this concept is moderately new to you, it may be overwhelming. However, please understand that it’s achievable and learnable. You can start by focusing …

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) is a hosted database service in the AWS cloud. If your organization’s data is stored in one of the popular database systems, but on a company server or perhaps you’re renting a dedicated server, you might want to consider switching to Amazon RDS.  With Amazon RDS, you can choose from several relational database systems:  MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, Postgres, and SQL Server, as well as Amazon Aurora.

There are many advantages to Amazon RDS, such as server scaling and load balancing of user traffic. Best of all, it can reduce the operational costs of running database software like MySQL. With Amazon RDS, you don’t need to worry about performing security updates, patching the operating system, or tuning the database. In fact, some of the patches Amazon deploys for MySQL and MariaDB are specifically designed to get better performance in a cloud setting.  Let’s look at some major …

There are many cool, new things happening with Percona Cloud Tools.  To avoid “tl;dr” I will highlight only one new feature after a brief, general announcement.  The new feature is a 3-minute MySQL monitor.  I’ll blog later about other features.

The general announcement is: Last week we quietly released a brand-new agent called percona-agent, and we added MySQL and system monitoring to Percona Cloud Tools.  We also wrote a brand-new API from the ground up.  We call it all “PCT v2″.  For you it means a better experience and more features, all still free while we’re in beta.

One new feature in Percona Cloud Tools v2 is MySQL monitoring in 3 minutes, i.e. a 3-minute MySQL monitor.  Let’s be honest about monitoring: We …
