Where you decide to host your cloud databases is a huge decision. But, if you’re considering leveraging a managed databases provider, you have another decision to make – are you able to host in your own cloud account or are you required to host through your managed service provider? Where to host your cloud database?

Most applications communicate with databases to, for example, pull a catalog entry or submit a new record when an order is placed. To achieve this, there must be a healthy connection between the application and the database. Application servers use connection pools to maintain connections with the databases that they communicate with.

When it comes to enterprise-level databases, there are several options available in the market, but PostgreSQL stands out as one of the most popular and reliable choices. PostgreSQL is a free and open source object-relational database management system (ORDBMS) that has existed since the mid-1990s.

We thus assigned a priority to each use case and sharded event traffic by routing to priority-specific queues and the corresponding event processing clusters. This separation allows us to tune system configuration and scaling policies independently for different event priorities and traffic patterns.

In case of a spike in traffic, you can automatically spin up more resources, often in a matter of seconds. Likewise, you can scale down when your application experiences decreased traffic. For example, as traffic increases, costs will too. Analyze your resource consumption and traffic patterns.
