NOSQL vs SQL. Key differences and when to choose each

Feb 19, 2024 By Ahinóam Rodríguez In Pandora FMS
Until recently, the default model for application development was SQL. However, in recent years NoSQL has become a popular alternative. The wide variety of data that is stored today and the workload that servers must support force developers to consider other more flexible and scalable options. NoSQL databases provide agile development and ease of adapting to changes. Even so, they cannot be considered as a replacement for SQL nor are they the most successful choice for all types of projects.

Navigate memory management challenges in MongoDB with Site24x7

Feb 15, 2024 By Sinjan Ballav In Site24x7
Effective memory management is crucial for optimal MongoDB performance and helps ensure seamless database operations and user experience. Allocating enough memory lets the database store frequently used data and indexes in RAM and cut down on disk I/O operations. This boosts query response times and system responsiveness. Poor memory management can cause delays in retrieving data from disk, leading to performance degradation.

Augmenting Your DBA Toolkit: Harnessing the Power of Time Series Databases

Feb 12, 2024 By Jason Myers / In InfluxData
Database Administrators (DBAs) rely on time series data every day, even if they don’t think of time series data as a unique data type. They rely on metrics such as CPU usage, memory utilization, and query response times to monitor and optimize databases. These metrics inherently have a time component, making them time series data. However, traditional databases aren’t specifically designed to handle the unique characteristics and workloads associated with time series data.
