For those who are looking forward to Percona Live Europe in just two weeks time—and for those yet to make up their minds—some of our presenters have shared some insight into their talks and what they’re most looking forward to themselves. Make no mistake, this is one of the most exciting events in the conference calendar for those of us who work with open source databases.

This year, our conference previews are being hosted over on the Percona community blog and the posts have been written by the presenters.

Percona Live Europe presents…

Here are the first six posts in this series of Percona Live Europe presents. There are more to come, so do come back over the next few days to see if any of the writers can help you pinpoint the talks that you are most …

My talk is titled Need for speed: Boosting Apache Cassandra’s performance using Netty. Over the years that I have worked in the software industry, making code run fast has fascinated me. So, naturally when I first started contributing to Apache Cassandra, I started looking opportunities to improve its performance. My talk takes us through some interesting challenges within a distributed system like Apache Cassandra and various techniques to significantly improve its performance. Talking about performance is incredibly exciting because you can easily quantify and see the results. Making improvements to the database’s performance not only improves the user experience but also reflects positively on the organization’s bottom line. It also has the added …

The MySQL Development team is proud to announce a new version of the MySQL Shell which in addition to the usual bug fixes and enhancements to the existing components,  offers new features we expect are quite useful in your day to day work.…

Considering the modern world of technology, where distributed system play a key role, replication in MySQL® is at the very heart of that change. It is very exciting to deliver this presentation and to be able to show everyone the greatest and the latest features that MySQL brings in order to continue the success that it has always been in the past.

The talk is suitable for anyone that’s interested in knowing what Oracle is doing with MySQL replication. Old acquaintances will get familiarized about new features already delivered and being considered and newcomers to the MySQL ecosystem will see how great MySQL Replication has grown to be and how it fits in their business..

What I’m most looking forward to at Percona Live Europe…

We are always eager to get feedback about the …

We added a number of new dashboards for MySQL in our latest release of ClusterControl 1.7.0. - and in our previous blog, we showed you How to Monitor Your ProxySQL with Prometheus and ClusterControl.

In this blog, we will look at the MySQL Overview dashboard.

So, we have enabled the Agent Based Monitoring under the Dashboard tab to start collecting metrics to the nodes. Take note that when enabling the Agent Based Monitoring, you have the options to set the “Scrape Interval (seconds)” and “Data retention (days)”. Scraping Interval is where you want to set how aggressively Prometheus will harvest data from the target and Data Retention is how long you want …

ProxySQL 1.4.11, released by ProxySQL, is now available for download in the Percona Repository along with an updated version of Percona’s proxysql-admin tool.

ProxySQL is a high-performance proxy, currently for MySQL and its forks (like Percona Server for MySQL and MariaDB). It acts as an intermediary for client requests seeking resources from the database. René Cannaò created ProxySQL for DBAs as a means of solving complex replication topology issues.

The ProxySQL 1.4.11 source and binary packages available at https://percona.com/downloads/proxysql …

Tungsten Clustering is an extraordinarily flexible tool, with options at every layer of operation.

In this blog post, we will describe and discuss the two different methods for installing, updating and upgrading Tungsten Clustering software.

When first designing a deployment, the question of installation methodology is answered by inspecting the environment and reviewing the customer’s specific needs.

Staging Deployment Methodology

All for One and One for All

Staging deployments were the original method of installing Tungsten Clustering, and relied upon command-line tools to configure and install all cluster nodes at once from a central location called the staging server.

This staging server (which could be one of the cluster nodes) requires SSH access to all …
