Databases benefit greatly from containerization in terms of performance, ease-of-deployment, and scalability. However, building a database-as-a-service (DBaaS) on Kubernetes without the right infrastructure can be a complex, time-consuming project where some database services have to be run outside of the cluster for the sake of leveraging persistent storage. This session offers up a global financial institution’s real-world account of how bare metal Kubernetes infrastructure can further enhance the performance of MariaDB’s innovative, load-balanced database services – and how the requisite persistent storage can be best provisioned, managed and backed up without service interruption or creating an additional burden for application owners and developers.
This content was taken from one of MariaDB’s slides from the roadshow presentation during November 2018.
MariaDB is a full-featured database solution with a lightweight, portable runtime that’s well- suited for containers. The performance it achieves is a function of MariaDB’s innovative Kubernetes implementation that enables load balancing of database reads and writes. For example, if the database is configured to support an IOPS-intensive application, read operations can be farmed out to a set of slave databases, while the master database handles write operations. MariaDB also features a smart layer that monitors the underlying databases and enables scaling of the deployment accordingly.
