MongoDB is an open source document-oriented database system. It is part of the NoSQL family of database systems. Instead of storing data in tables as is done in a "classical" relational database, MongoDB stores structured data as JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas (MongoDB calls the format BSON), making the integration of data in certain types of applications easier and faster.

Support Rating

MariaDB frees companies from the costs, constraints and complexity of proprietary databases, enabling them to reinvest in what matters most – rapidly developing innovative, customer-facing applications. Deployed in minutes, MariaDB uses pluggable, purpose-built storage engines for transactional or analytical use cases that previously required specialized databases. Enterprises can now depend on a single complete database for all their needs, whether on commodity hardware or their cloud of choice. MariaDB is trusted by organizations such as Deutsche Bank, DBS Bank, Nasdaq, Red Hat, The Home Depot, ServiceNow and Verizon. Real business relies on MariaDB™.

Load balancing

Home

Our company provides services to other companies, one of which is critical because it is used by all of our clients and has a high number of visits. We need a quick application response to provide good service to customers, while also having a scalable and secure solution. That's what MariaDB MaxScale provides.

Product Usage

Pros and Cons

Open source proxy server
Great performance
Offers load balancing
Modular architecture

Things done well

Improve balancing based on SQL queries
Improve swap memory consumption
It has a slight delay

Things done poorly

If you have a cluster of nodes with MariaDB MaxScale and you want all the
nodes of the cluster to have a similar load and not to be be
penalized for queries or writes to the database, you can mount the MaxScale product in front of the MariaDB cluster. MaxScale will balance the requests based on what is being sent to each
node to have an equitable load and will cache the queries that it
sends to each one. This optimizes the response time to
database queries and spreads the load out among all nodes in a
similar way.

Reduce the number of database nodes
Improve the performance of the applications that use the databases
A new layer is added in the service architecture

Return on Investment

ProxySLQ allows many simultaneous connections and allows the cache of queries in memory but it does not have high availability or scalability natively, only through external tools. HAProxy is not able to perform load balancing in an optimal way.Instead, MariaDB MaxScale allows high availability, scalability, and data replication to external systems such as Kafka. In addition, MaxScale has a monitor that allows you to see the status of the set of databases.

Alternatives

MariaDB MaxScale is a powerful tool and easy to use. It has helped us a lot to improve the performance of our database queries. It implements a security layer that acts as a firewall for the databases, masks the data, or limits the results of the queries. It also integrates easily with Kafka.

We have launched several inquiries to MariaDB MaxScale support, and they have always responded very quickly. They also want to hold frequent meetings with the client to get their opinion understand how they can help. I see a very human support that is concerned about the customer.

Other Software Used

By paying for the support, you are helping to improve the tool (and it is a way of recognizing that they are doing their job) in addition to ensuring that in the event of a breakdown you will have a great team ready to help you. My experience with support, except once, has always been very good.
