A collection of cloud computing services is said to be as the Amazon Web Services, that all in all builds up a cloud computing platform. Across the world these services operate from 12 geographical regions.

The big names that are associated with AWS as its customers are Adobe, Airbnb, NASA, Netflix, Slack and Zynga.

Tips that would Bring In Faster AWS’s Performance Include:

Performance Planning

In the midst of cloud deployment, some unexpected difficulties can arise. These can include out of the blue costs to maintain, support and run the cloud based application. In such a case an organization or any company will do their best in growing their efforts. But instead of making more efforts, you must do brainstorming and formulate your plans. You must train your members so that they have the knowledge of better application monitoring and management. Moreover, the points that are sneeded to be considered while planning include:

  • Data Movement
  • High Availability
  • Enhanced Networking
  • Storage Types

Being Careful About Load Balancing

Load balancing plays a very important role in distributing requests across multiple application servers. As it is usually known that in any cloud environment, server performance is very variable as compared to using those servers that are controlled directly. Besides any other place, load balancing is very important in the cloud.

In various cloud environments, load balancing plays an effective role in resolving the potential performance issues such as:

  • When you run out of memory
  • When there is inconsistent performance
  • When the system is stuck in bandwidth constraints

Monitor App Performance

As compared to traditional implementations the cloud services are very different and are significant in setting the standards for performance and any other further revision. With cloud services and their amazing performance you will be able to distinguish between an application and its performance on the cloud and the same app’s performance on the servers

Conclusion

Making the most of the Amazon Web Services thereby utilizing the above mentioned tips will give you outstanding results and that too for the long term. Besides this, you will be able to achieve your goals in a easier and flexible manner as compared to when there were much harder to accomplish.

Which Database Is Best For Your Development Company?

Posted On March 20, 2016 By admin In DBA Best Practices, DBA Tips, Security /   No Comments

Supposing you are a start-up company, looking to implement the strategies you made. You deal with  numerous records that you want to keep a track on, following this you are thinking to implement the idea of a database. On the other hand if you are a large database development company having a mainframe and want to run your database on that mainframe, then also before opting for a database the most important thing would be to decide that which database would go inline or just perfectly with your services.

Below, we have presented for you, short introduction of few databases that will be a great help for you while making the selection:

Relational Databases

MySQL – Among many databases, MySQL is the most used and implemented one. As compared to the former storage engine, MYISAM, it handles read-only with the current storage engine, InnoDB becoming all in all, a mature system. Moreover, if handling massive amount of data, then there are chances of difficulties upon which then TokuDB is considered.

PostgreSQL – When it comes to relational databases, PostgreSQL is the best choice. This database is very extensible, such that it can be greatly used in case of custom procedures.

TokuDB – It is considered as a storage engine for MySQL, MariaDB or Percona Server. Furthermore, it is also considered as a replacement of InnoDB. Moreover, the best thing about it is that it is very good in compressing data.

NoSQL  Databases

MongoDB – Though people hate this database as it is a document oriented one, but its also popular for a couple of reasons such as, its speed, the flexible schema and sharing.

CouchDB – If you are one of those who hate documented oriented databases, then you would find CouchDB much better. It is much like MongoDB except that it is fully ACID compliant on a document level.

Cassandra – A Database Development company can be of the opinion of choosing Cassandra as it is designed to have in control large amounts of data.

Graph Databases

Neo4j – It is a database, in which the prime focus is storing all the data in edges and in nodes. Or in simpler terms, it stores data in graphs. When data is stored in such a manner, many problems become easy in solving.

OrietnDB – This is another graph database, which has almost all the features as Neo4j. One of the difference between OrientDB and Neo4j is that, it is free as it is licensed with Apache 2. Another distinguishing point is that OrientDB supports SQL language wgile Neoj4 has its own query language.

FlockDB – Among full-featured graph databases, in the list of simpler ones there is FlockDB. Not all  graph problems are solved through this database, but besides this it focuses in handling high throughput with low latency.

Comes Down To Which Database is Best!!

Now the question is to choose which type of database? This entirely depends on the purpose for which you wish to use it for. If you want it for a small application, then MySQL or PostgreSQL should be your choice. In case a database development company is looking for the most desirable access time with horizontal scalability then NoSQL databases will exactly give you what you are looking for.
