Have you been experiencing slow MySQL startup times in GTID mode? We recently ran into this issue on one of our MySQL hosting deployments and set out to solve the problem. In this blog, we break down the issue that could be slowing down your MySQL restart times, how to debug for your deployment, and what you can do to decrease your start time and improve your understanding of GTID-based replication.

In Part I , we introduced a High Availability (HA) framework for MySQL hosting and discussed various components and their functionality. Now in Part II, we will discuss the details of MySQL semisynchronous replication and the related configuration settings that help us ensure redundancy and consistency of the data in our HA setup. Make sure to check back in for Part III where we will review various failure scenarios that could arise and the way the framework responds and recovers from these cond

One question I’ve seen posed a few times in the past several months is whether performance really is a moral or ethical concern, or if that’s all heavy-handed exaggeration. It’s a fair question, I suppose. Advocates of any technique or technology can be a bit heavy-handed when it suits them if they’re not being careful–myself included.

Not too long ago I had written a tutorial titled, U2F Authentication with a YubiKey Using Node.js and jQuery , which demonstrated how to use hardware keys as a means of universal two-factor (U2F) authentication. However, I had left some things to be desired in that previous post. For example, the previous tutorial did not use proper session management with Express.js and it used jQuery, which is neat, but by no means is as popular as some of the other web frameworks that currently exist.

I’ve mentioned this numerous times before, but The Polyglot Developer is powered by Hugo which is a static site generator that takes Markdown and converts it to HTML. While Markdown is easy to use and can accomplish quite a bit, the syntax doesn’t accomplish everything that you’d hope to accomplish when it comes to a website. For example audio and video aren’t a thing in Markdown while it is in HTML.

As part of my attempt to become organized in 2019, I found several draft blog entries that had never been completed and made public. This week I updated three of those posts — two really old ones (primarily of interest to computer architecture historians), and one from 2018: July 2012: Local and Remote Memory Latency on AMD Processors in 2-socket and 4-socket servers.

When it comes to agile estimation, quite often agile teams spend a big chunk of their time in heavyweight processes like detailed story point estimation to improve the predictability or accuracy of their estimates. In other words, agile teams invest more time in estimation to reduce that variance (i.e. time estimated vs. time taken) which otherwise can be used to create features and add business value.

I’m pretty skeptical of AI replacing humans anytime soon, but there is no denying that AI is capable of things that humans aren’t. Computers are unmatched in their ability to run brute force calculations. Theoretically, a human could perform Google’s PageRank algorithm. Yet, it would take a human millions of times more time than a computer to do so and the monotony would result in human error.

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.” So who is right?
