How To Set Up SQL Load Balancing with HAProxy - SlidesSeveralnines
We continuously see great interest in MySQL load balancing and HAProxy, so we thought it was about time we organised a live webinar on the topic! Here is the replay of that webinar!
As most of you will know, database clusters and load balancing go hand in hand.
Once your data is distributed and replicated across multiple database nodes, a load balancing mechanism helps distribute database requests, and gives applications a single database endpoint to connect to.
Instance failures or maintenance operations like node additions/removals, reconfigurations or version upgrades can be masked behind a load balancer. This provides an efficient way of isolating changes in the database layer from the rest of the infrastructure.
In this webinar, we cover the concepts around the popular open-source HAProxy load balancer, and show you how to use it with your SQL-based database clusters. We also discuss HA strategies for HAProxy with Keepalived and Virtual IP.
Agenda:
* What is HAProxy?
* SQL Load balancing for MySQL
* Failure detection using MySQL health checks
* High Availability with Keepalived and Virtual IP
* Use cases: MySQL Cluster, Galera Cluster and MySQL Replication
* Alternative methods: Database drivers with inbuilt cluster support, MySQL proxy, MaxScale, ProxySQL

Using Databases and Containers From Development to DeploymentAerospike, Inc.
This document discusses using containers and databases together from development to production. It addresses challenges like data redundancy, dynamic cluster formation and healing when containers start and stop. It proposes that existing architectures are broken and presents Aerospike as a solution, being self-organizing, self-healing and optimized for flash storage. It demonstrates building an app with Python, Aerospike and Docker, deploying to a Swarm cluster, and scaling the database and web tiers through containers.
This document discusses using Docker containers with the Aerospike NoSQL database to simplify deployment from development to production. It provides examples of building a Python/Flask application with Aerospike in Docker for development and deploying it behind a load balancer to a Docker Swarm cluster for production. It also demonstrates scaling the web and Aerospike tiers independently by launching additional Docker containers.

Get Started with Data Science by Analyzing Traffic Data from California HighwaysAerospike, Inc.
This document summarizes an effort to analyze traffic data from California highways to better understand data science techniques. The researchers searched for an open dataset, eventually finding sensor data from California highways. They analyzed the data format and values to understand it. To detect traffic incidents, they framed it as a classification problem and prepared training data by labeling sensor records near incidents as positive examples. They trained classifiers on this data but initial results were poor. After refining the features and balancing the training data, the classifiers showed more promising results.

The document discusses different strategies for horizontally scaling databases, including simple sharding, hashed sharding, and master-slave architectures. It describes Aerospike's approach of "smart partitioning", which balances data automatically, hides complexity from clients, and provides redundancy and failover. The key advantages are linear scalability, high availability even during maintenance, and the ability to handle catastrophic failures through multi-datacenter replication that can withstand outages and disasters.
Whats the buzz about? When it comes to NoSQL, what do some of the most experienced developers know about NoSQL that makes them select Aerospike over any other NoSQL database?

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock
Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?
