Speakers:
Ed Huang
Co-founder and CTO, PingCAP
Liquan Pei
Senior Database Engineer, PingCAP
This meetup is part of the meetup series “The Future of Modern Distributed SQL Databases.” This meetup will cover two topics: data placement and queue.
Liquan Pei will introduce Placement Rules. Introduced in v5.0, Placement Rules is a replica rule system which enables users to control data placement. Typical user scenarios include:
- Merging databases running different applications to reduce the cost of database maintenance
- Increasing the replica count for important data to improve application availability and data reliability
- Storing new data on solid-state drives (SSDs) and storing old data into hard disk drives (HDDs) to lower the cost of data archiving and storage
- Scheduling the leaders of hotspot data to high-performance TiKV instances
- Separating cold data to lower-cost storage mediums to improve cost efficiency
Ed will talk about the TiDB queue. When you build a modern application in the cloud, the three main pillars are compute, messaging, and database. There are several messaging models including queue and publish/subscribe. In this talk, Ed will focus on how TiDB supports the queue.
