Jepsen tests and a chaos-driven testing framework play a crucial role in identifying and addressing vulnerabilities. However, traditional testing methods fall short for cloud-native applications and distributed systems. This blog provides the latest Jepsen updates for YugabyteDB, as well as sharing information on additional in-house built frameworks for resiliency and consistency testing that go far beyond Jepsen.
Database High Availability has traditionally been achieved through enhanced and automated disaster recovery solutions. Although these measures reduce the impact of failures, they still result in complete downtime for the application during the failover process. In this blog, we compare this approach with cloud-native solutions for high availability, focusing on resiliency built directly into the database.
Disaster recovery is streamlined with YugabyteDB 2.21, introducing industry-first native orchestration features to ensure your data stays safe and readily accessible in today’s volatile cloud environments. This update not only simplifies resilience with the native xCluster DR but also supports database modernization and risk reduction through advanced isolation levels and Kubernetes Operator.
A logistics firm sought to enhance the performance and resilience of their RF system. By implementing a hybrid cloud stretch cluster deployment and strategically positioning data close to users, they successfully lowered latency, aligning with user demands for speed and availability. Explore the detailed approach and outcomes in the following analysis.
Building a resilient application requires readiness for unexpected database issues, such as temporary network glitches or brief database unavailability, ensuring they don’t affect functionality. In this blog, I’ll demonstrate setting up a solid retry mechanism and manage transactions effectively in a Spring Boot application using YugabyteDB.
The cloud revolution, initially promising for application scaling, falls short in database scalability, facing challenges with concurrent user management and processing. To truly harness cloud benefits and meet peak demands, organizations must consider horizontally scalable, cloud-native databases over traditional, monolithic SQL systems.
Black Friday 2023 witnessed significant growth in online sales, with Cyber Monday setting new records, highlighting the continued relevance of these peak shopping days. Despite the surge in online shopping, overall holiday spending is only expected to increase slightly, suggesting a shift towards more online purchases.
Peak events like record-breaking concerts and Black Friday sales, along with unpredictable freak events such as adverse weather and cloud outages, are pushing legacy database technology’s limits in scalability and resilience.
A fintech firm is reshaping financial services using its scalable, cloud-native banking platform on YugabyteDB Aeon. Opting for Yugabyte’s multi-region deployment, the company avoids cloud vendor lock-in and achieves greater resilience and performance, surpassing traditional databases like AWS Aurora MySQL.
This blog highlights six moments that will increase the risk of an ecommerce website crash. Using examples, it illustrates the short- and long-term financial and reputational impact of such crashes, showing how by modernizing the data layer retailers can ensure site resilience, scalability, and consistent high performance and safeguard their share of the growing eCommerce market.
