Abstract

MySQL Document Store enables us to work with SQL relational tables and schema-less JSON collections. So instead of having a mixed bag of databases, you can just rely on MySQL, where the JSON documents can be stored in collections and managed with CRUD operations. All you need to do is install the X plugin. In this session, you will learn what a document store is, how to install and use it, and all the reasons for considering it. We will also see several specific features helping developers and illustrate how the usual MySQL DBA can manage this new world.

Why is your talk exciting?

I’m not sure if my talk is exciting, but I’m quite positive the subject is! Vitess has been gaining a lot of traction over the past few years and I must admit that I’ve been keen to get hands-on experience with it for years. As we, MessageBird, encounter rapid growth standard (read) scaling wasn’t applicable anymore and we were in need for a solution. Late 2019 we implemented our (quick) DIY sharding solution based upon existing components. A few months later we encountered the next scaling issue and we found our own built solution wasn’t suitable in this case. That’s when we considered investing our time instead in a Vitess proof of concept (community edition) and this talk will …

Abstract

For many, running an online schema migration operation is still a manual job: from building the correct command, through identifying where the migration should run and which servers are to be affected, to auditing progress and completing the migration. Sharded environment poses an additional burden, as any logical migration must be applied multiple times, once for each shard.

What if you could just issue an ALTER TABLE … statement, and have all that complexity automated away? Vitess, an open source sharding framework for MySQL, is in a unique position to do just that. This session shows how Vitess’s proxy/agent/topology architecture, together with gh-ost, are used to hide schema change …

Abstract

Starting with AWS, the major cloud providers offer different options to run a MySQL or a MySQL-compatible database on the cloud. A new approach is to rely on so-called serverless (relational) databases like Aurora Serverless that offer both traditional TCP connections and HTTP API access. Can serverless really be the future? Can data API really replace a MySQL connector? What are the major limitations of a serverless database cluster and do they really protect from inefficient use of database resources?

Why is your talk exciting?

The database is the most challenging layer to optimize resources in the cloud and achieve elasticity. Serverless relational databases can help in that but …
