Securing access to a MariaDB database is essential to protect sensitive data and maintain system integrity. Basic security measures like enforcing strong passwords help prevent unauthorized access, while ensures that data is encrypted during transmission. By combining these practices with regular updates and access control, you can significantly reduce the risk of security breaches. utilizing TLS (Transport Layer Security)This being said “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes” ? It’s all good to have TLS backed connexions, strong passwords, a Maxscale proxy , NAT rules or port knocking, but all this does not prevent inside jobs from happening. Yeah, i know what you think : “what… Read more

Even though I used a dedicated Kubernetes cluster to host my test database, I had this belief that by not explicitly allocating (or requesting, in Kubernetes vocabulary) CPU resources to my Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC) pods or yet making just a small request, Kubernetes could be delaying access to the free CPU cycles available on […]… Read more

In this post I will talk about release management with MySQL as example. Release management has to do with what to put in a release, how often to do a release, how to long to support a release and how to number or name the releases. The early years Today software is almost exclusively delivered over the internet, but this didn’t use to be the case. Software used to be delivered in a box that you had to buy at a physical store. These were often shrink wrapped and forced you to agree with the EULA by opening the box…. Read more

I recently learned of Advanced MySQL, a MySQL fork, and ran my sysbench benchmarks for it. It fixed some, but not all, of the regressions for write heavy workloads that landed in InnoDB after MySQL 8.0.28.In response to my results, the project lead filed a bug for performance regressions and then quickly came up with a diff. The bug in this case is for regressions that are most obvious during full table scans and the problems arrived in MySQL 8.0.29 and 8.0.30 — see bug 111538 and this post. The bug is closed for upstream but the perf regressions remain so… Read more
