Database Monitoring and Management

Working with MySQL vs. MariaDB – What’s Different?

Everyone has heard of MySQL. Well, probably not everyone – say, everyone in the development and database monitoring space. Do you ever wonder why? MySQL is everywhere. The industries that use MySQL as their primary database management system include the automobile industry (think Volvo, BMW, etc.), the fashion industry (think SheIn and the like), the finance industry uses it heavily, it’s prevalent in the education industry.

Why do Developers Automate Database Processes?

If you’ve been around the world of development at least for a little while, you will know – automation is everywhere. We mean, it’s 2022: one can find companies automating robotization processes, there are specialized houses with automated processes instead of keys, etc. 

The software sector is not an exception to this rule, either – automation, especially database automation, in the software sector is rampant as well. Some of the processes that are being increasingly automated are related to databases, database monitoring, and database farm management: by automating database processes, people find themselves at ease when working with all kinds of database flavors.

Running Databases – Docker vs. Alternatives

These days, Docker is a frequent friend of many developers. Some developers even turn to Docker to run their database systems – applications are safe in containers, containers usually are lightweight, and generally containers allow devs to bundle all the software they use into “boxes” called Docker containers.
