This is the level of reasoning actual solution architect should learn to have. Great one. I must say watching plenty of videos recently related to cloud as a preparation of one intervew some of these videos I wached several versions explaining same concepts but none of them has given me the satisfactory level of understanding and reasoning I was looking for like this one. It is easy to learn, but the challenge is to understand what you have learned! Tons of thanks

Thank you very much Meme. We try very hard to give people the depth of knowledge they need to build their careers. You so right. It’s not hard to learn things. It’s hard to truly know and understand them.

It’s great that you have clarified this for the masses. Why? I know that many prospectives may believe that passing the test is all that is necessary. Bring this to light makes a big difference, as to what a candidate will achieve, if they know there abilities over incompetence.

For Question on how to scale write traffic for database , you mentioned about Queuing system. could you please elaborate?

@GoCloudArchitects

2 жыл бұрын

Sure. Databases struggle when there is insufficient CPU, Memory or Disk performance So you add read replicas and caching to offload read traffic from the master database. This saves compute resources and therefore more write traffic can be handled. But there is always sill a limit to write traffic. Let’s say you could write 10k times per second to a database. But you had times where there was no writes to the database and other times where there is 11k writes per second. What will happen is al write load gets to 100 percent and messages will be lost and other times the load of the database server may be one percent. So if you could put the messages in a place ( a queue) and you could send the write traffic from the queue to the data base at a pace it can handle it will smooth out the rough patches, prevents messages being lost, and smooths out the pace of the write traffic. Which effectively reduces the load on the sever by smoothing out peaks and troughs in traffic.

Truth!

Thank you very much Richard!

I’m confused by your first question and how you answered it. The question was how do you scale a relational database, and then you went on talking about caching and queueing systems none of which are scaling mechanisms. These help with performance but they don’t answer the question.

@GoCloudArchitects

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Younes, These non-database technologies are used to scale databases. In much the same way load balancers are used to provide performance, availability and increase capacity Since you can’t scale by just adding servers you must do something different. You reduce read load from the primary database with read replicas. But if a big data environment they too will be overwhelmed by read traffic. So you will need to use caching to reduce the load on the read replicas. Caching helps read scaling. Now there is now such thing as a write replica. Since you can’t send an unlimited amount of traffic to the database without the cpu and disk reaching 100 percent and dropping messages queuing is used. Queuing smooths out the write traffic enabling the database to better scale. This is an extremely important topic. I’ll make a training video on this soon.

@YounesFadil

2 жыл бұрын

@@GoCloudArchitects but you can scale by adding servers, it’s called sharding, Sharding, also known as horizontal partitioning, is a popular scale-out approach for relational databases. This is the first thing that came to my mind when I heard the question. If the question was: how do you enhance a db performance, then yes cashe, queues or read replicas come to mind as well.

@GoCloudArchitects

@@YounesFadil Yones - This is absolutely true. And the cloud database architects, and database architects will know this. But these are cloud architect interview questions. Since most cloud architects focus on end-to-end system design this level of database engineering/architecture is not expected knowledge from hiring managers for cloud architects. But we are going to make a full training video. With the collaboration of the database architects on our team. Perhaps we should include the more advanced database components in addition to all the other tech most architects consider first.

Excellent video Mike, one question at time 3:29 of your video you said "In order to reduce write load, so you don’t have peaks and valleys you can use killing system. " can you explain what exactly is killing system and what is peaks and valleys ?

@GoCloudArchitects

2 жыл бұрын

Hi full stack master, I said use a queuing system to smooth out the peaks and valleys. So you would not have times where the system recourses were at 100 percent and times where they were at 0 percent.

@@surabhitripathi4223 If I'm not wrong, you can implement a message system like SQS or Kafka. That would be responsible for managing process workloads which don't require real time response so you could set pulling interval based in your workload and response time requirements then the messages could processed smoothly. That would reduce the workload on the DB. I hope that helps.

Hi Mike, we can not use replication if the traffic of the data base is write too ?!! Any explication please ?

What exactly is a killing system and how does it help with write scaling? Did I hear that right?

@GoCloudArchitects

3 жыл бұрын

Im not sure of the context. Although we often use this when referring to a DDoS attack. For example in a DDoS attack an attacker uses a large number of systems to overwhelm the capacity of the system. If effect overwhelms the servers and can cause a crash, or just the capacity to be overwhelmed. Autoscaling can help as it can increase capacity, sometimes to a greater level of capacity then the attack. So this often can help keep the attack in check unit the systems are remediated.

Which is a better combo certification to work from home in IT? 1)CEH W/Splunk 2)CCNA W/CCNP or 3) CySA+ W/CEH

@GoCloudArchitects

Жыл бұрын

No certification combo is enough to work from home in IT. You need real world skills that employers need which is not covered in most certifications except for the Cisco certified Internet Expert (CCIE) as that requires real competency to pass. Which means you need real tech career training not certifications.
