I’ve encountered DBAs and ops engineers who shared war stories of running production long before automation and modern tooling went mainstream. Experiencing sudden primary faults during sleeping hours, getting paged, logging in to squint over trace logs that show replication lag on all replicas and working out which one is furthest ahead, promoting it, editing […] The post Automated Database Failover: Why Homegrown High Availability Struggles At Scale appeared first on Severalnines.
Application teams have been living in Git-driven, immutable-deployment land for years. Databases lagged for good reason: That gap has closed considerably now that Kubernetes operators understand PostgreSQL well enough to manage replication, failover, and storage declaratively. What’s still missing in a lot of pipelines is the operational layer that sits on top of “it deployed”, […] The post How to Build a PostgreSQL CI/CD Pipeline with GitOps and Kubernetes appeared first on Severalnines.
The role of databases has shifted significantly as modern applications must deliver real-time analytics, dashboards, and machine learning alongside low-latency transaction processing. Handling these diverse demands with a single relational database has become unsustainable under growing data volumes. Consequently, organizations are adopting specialized database architectures where multiple engines work together based on their strengths, allowing […] The post Postgres + ClickHouse Architectural Patterns appeared first on Severalnines.
ClusterControl 2.5.0 is here, and it marks a milestone for the platform: ClickHouse joins the family of supported database engines — and with it, a capability no analytics vendor’s cloud can offer you. Wherever you run ClusterControl — on-premises, in any cloud, or hybrid — you can now deploy ClickHouse either as a standalone OLAP […] The post ClusterControl 2.5.0 brings ClickHouse support to on-prem, cloud and hybrid environments appeared first on Severalnines.
In December, we introduced how Model Context Protocol could make ClusterControl easier to work with from AI assistants. Since then, Severalnines has expanded that MCP direction across its database operations platforms with ClusterControl MCP and CCX MCP. The latest ClusterControl MCP is the major update, providing a more robust implementation with 69 tools and 20 […] The post AI-Assisted Production Database Ops with ClusterControl MCP and CCX MCP appeared first on Severalnines.
