24 alternatives to Auto-scaling databases and a story – MongoHQ

Preface: we love Hacker News. It's been one of the constant good things in all of our lives, and is by far our favorite place to talk with people about what we're doing. I figured it was worth doing a special post for something we've been cooking up, rather than just linking to what everyone else gets. So here it is. We just turned on a product we're calling "Elastic Deployments". These are MongoDB clusters that scale vertically with no intervention. As a database grows, it has access to more RAM, IOPs and CPU. More here:…

MongoHQ offers Elastic Deployments, a MongoDB hosting service that automatically scales database clusters vertically as they grow.

    Hey HN! Lev and Justin here, authors of PgDog (https://pgdog.dev/), a connection pooler, load balancer and database sharder for PostgreSQL. If you build apps with a lot of traffic, you know the first thing to break is the database. We are solving this with a network proxy that works without requiring application code changes or database migrations. Our post from last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44099187 The most important update: we are in production. Sharding is used a lot, with direct-to-shard queries (one shard per query) working pretty much…

    Yo. OtterTune is a database optimization service. It uses machine learning to automatically tune your MySQL and Postgres configuration (i.e., RDS parameter groups) to improve performance and reduce costs. It does this by only looking at your database's runtime metrics (e.g., INNODB_METRICS, pg_stat_database, CloudWatch). We don't need to examine sensitive queries or user tables. We spun this project out of my research group at Carnegie Mellon University in 2020. This week we've announced that OtterTune is now available to the public. We are offering everyone a starter account to try it out…

If you love the flexibility of MongoDB's document model but are struggling with scaling, cost, and consistency due to its coupled architecture, EloqDoc is for you. It’s built to solve MongoDB's inherent infrastructure challenges while remaining fully compatible with existing MongoDB clients and drivers. Key Features: 1. Object Storage as First Citizen: Uses…
