How QBerg scaled to store data longer, query it fasterMariaDB plc
The continuous increase in terms of services and countries to which QBerg delivers its services requires an ever-increasing load of resources. During the last year QBerg has reached a critical point, storing so much transactional data that standard relational databases were unable to meet the SLAs, or support the features, required by customers. As an example, they had to cap web analytics to running on a maximum of four months of history. The introduction of MariaDB ColumnStore, flanked by existing MariaDB Server databases, not only will allow them to store multiple years’ worth of historical data for analytics – it decreased overall processing time by one order of magnitude right off the bat. The move to a unified platform was incremental, using MariaDB MaxScale as both a router and a replicator. QBerg is now able to replicate full InnoDB schemas to MariaDB ColumnStore and incrementally update big tables without impacting the performance of ongoing transactions.

Tungsten Use Case: How Gittigidiyor (a subsidiary of eBay) Replicates Data In...Continuent
Gittigidiyor, a subsidiary of eBay, needed to replicate data in real time from their MySQL database to an Oracle database to power their data warehouse. Continuent Tungsten was used to provide heterogeneous replication between the databases. The schema was translated from MySQL to Oracle using ddlscan. Initial data was exported and loaded into Oracle using parallel apply. Ongoing real-time replication now occurs between MySQL and Oracle using Tungsten Replicator with custom filters to handle data type translations.

Unifying Frontend and Backend Development with Scala - ScalaCon 2021Taro L. Saito
Scala can be used for developing both frontend (Scala.js) and backend (Scala JVM) applications. A missing piece has been bridging these two worlds using Scala. We built Airframe RPC, a framework that uses Scala traits as a unified RPC interface between servers and clients. With Airframe RPC, you can build HTTP/1 (Finagle) and HTTP/2 (gRPC) services just by defining Scala traits and case classes. It simplifies web application design as you only need to care about Scala interfaces without using existing web standards like REST, ProtocolBuffers, OpenAPI, etc. Scala.js support of Airframe also enables building interactive Web applications that can dynamically render DOM elements while talking with Scala-based RPC servers. With Airframe RPC, the value of Scala developers will be much higher both for frontend and backend areas.

SkySQL is the first and only database-as-a-service (DBaaS) to perform workload analysis with advanced deep learning models, identifying and classifying discrete workload patterns so DBAs can better understand database workloads, identify anomalies and predict changes.
In this session, we’ll explain the concepts behind workload analysis and show how it can be used in the real world (and with sample real-world data) to improve database performance and efficiency by identifying key metrics and changes to cyclical patterns.
SkySQL uses best-of-breed software, and when it comes to metrics and monitoring that means Prometheus and Grafana. SkySQL Monitor is built on both, and provides customers with interactive dashboards for both real-time and historic metrics monitoring. In addition, it meets the same high availability and security requirements as other SkySQL components, ensuring metrics are always available and always secure.
In this session, we’ll explain how SkySQL Monitor works, walk through its dashboards and show how to monitor key metrics for performance and replication.
Introducing the R2DBC async Java connectorMariaDB plc
Not too long ago, a reactive variant of the JDBC driver was released, known as Reactive Relational Database Connectivity (R2DBC for short). While R2DBC started as an experiment to enable integration of SQL databases into systems that use reactive programming models, it now specifies a full-fledged service-provider interface that can be used to retrieve data from a target data source.
In this session, we’ll take a look at the new MariaDB R2DBC connector and examine the advantages of fully reactive, non-blocking development with MariaDB. And, of course, we’ll dive in and get a first-hand look at what it’s like to use the new connector with some live coding!
The capabilities and features of MariaDB Platform continue to expand, resulting in larger and more sophisticated production deployments – and the need for better tools. To provide DBAs with comprehensive, consolidating tooling, we created MariaDB Enterprise Tools: an easy-to-use, modular command-line interface for interacting with any part of MariaDB Platform.
In this session, we will provide a preview of the MariaDB Enterprise Client, walk through current and planned modules and discuss future plans for MariaDB Enterprise Tools – including SkySQL modules and the ability to create custom modules.
Faster, better, stronger: The new InnoDBMariaDB plc
For MariaDB Enterprise Server 10.5, the default transactional storage engine, InnoDB, has been significantly rewritten to improve the performance of writes and backups. Next, we removed a number of parameters to reduce unnecessary complexity, not only in terms of configuration but of the code itself. And finally, we improved crash recovery thanks to better consistency checks and we reduced memory consumption and file I/O thanks to an all new log record format.
In this session, we’ll walk through all of the improvements to InnoDB, and dive deep into the implementation to explain how these improvements help everything from configuration and performance to reliability and recovery.
SkySQL implements a groundbreaking, state-of-the-art architecture based on Kubernetes and ServiceNow, and with a strong emphasis on cloud security – using compartmentalization and indirect access to secure and protect customer databases.

nstore-pentaho-data-integration-data-adapter
16. Pentaho Data Integration adapter – usage
● As a consumer of the ColumnStore
Bulk API, copy of the cluster
ColumnStore.xml is required
● In addition, a JDBC connection is
required for metadata and to
support update / delete DML
● A target table must be defined as
the target for the data stream
17. Pentaho Data Integration adapter – usage
● After the target table is defined the
mapping from the input stream to
the target table must be defined
● The map all inputs button will
attempt to auto map the columns if

○ Average of the independent variable (sum(ColumnX)/N), where N is number of rows
processed by the query
● REGR_AVGY(ColumnY, ColumnX)
○ Average of the dependent variable (sum(ColumnY)/N), where N is number of rows
processed by the query
● REGR_COUNT(ColumnY, ColumnX)
○ The total number of input rows in which both column Y and column X are nonnull
● REGR_INTERCEPT(ColumnY, ColumnX)
○ The y-intercept of the least-squares-fit linear equation determined by the pairs
22. Regression functions (2/2)
● REGR_R2(ColumnY, ColumnX)
○ Square of the correlation coefficient: regr_intercept(ColumnY, ColumnX)

○ REGR_COUNT(y, x) * COVAR_POP(y, x) for non-null pairs
● REGR_SYY(ColumnY, ColumnX)
○ REGR_COUNT(y, x) * VAR_POP(y) for non-null pairs
23. Data types
● An explicit TIME datatype is now supported for capturing the time of day
○ This is very useful for financial applications
○ Avoids use of a custom numeric type as a workaround
○ Uses 8 bytes of storage
○ Supported range is '-838:59:59.999999' to '838:59:59.999999'
● Additionally, precision up to milli/micro second for DATETIME and TIME data
types allow more fine-grained time specification
● Boolean data type is supported.
24. Additional features
