- 2. PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL2 • Kevin is a Certified Magento Developer. He has built and maintained some of the largest and most complex Magento-powered E-commerce sites. • Kevin lives in Las Vegas and is currently the Magento Solutions Architect for Clustrix.
- 3. As a Magento Architect — I think about the future How easy is it to maintain? Can someone else support it? Can it handle growth? Can it be used for something else? When is it going to break? PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL3
- 4. Symptoms of a Problem? • Increased page load time • • Spikes and Errors • • Site Crashes • • Support Tickets PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL4
- 5. If you are seeing issues… • Look in the obvious places – Scale your Magento web nodes – Add Memcached or Redis – Add Varnish • If everything else is tuned right, the database becomes the next bottleneck PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL5
- 6. Ways of Extending MySQL PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL6 Faster Hardware? Read Slaves? Multi Master? Partitioning? Percona? NoSQL? Clustrix?
- 7. Report Card Grading 7 Report Card MySQL Compatible ✔ Improves Performance ✔ Scales Reads ✔ Scales Writes ✔ No Application Changes No Single Point of Failure
- 8. Percona • A drop-in replacement for MySQL • Pros: – Easy to set up and use – Retains consistent performance at high resource utilization • Cons: – Still has MySQL's architecture limitations – No high availability or disaster recovery 8 Report Card MySQL Compatible ✔ Improves Performance ✔ Scales Reads ✔ Scales Writes Limited No Application Changes ✔ No Single Point of Failure
- 9. Faster Hardware • Pros: – Immediate performance improvements • Cons: – Limit to how large you can go – High-end hardware can get very expensive, especially when you include backup servers – Excess hardware during off peak season 9 Report Card MySQL Compatible ✔ Improves Performance ✔ Scales Reads Limited Scales Writes Limited No Application Changes ✔ No Single Point of Failure
- 10. Master with Read Slaves • Pros: – Easy to do – Magento has this feature built in • Cons: – Does not help solve write checkout bottlenecks – Eventual consistency 10 Master SlaveSlave Report Card MySQL Compatible ✔ Improves Performance ✔ Scales Reads ✔ Scales Writes No Application Changes ✔ No Single Point of Failure
- 11. Master/Master, Store/Admin • Pros: – Works well if you do a lot of updates – Helps for 24 hour stores • Cons: – Have to accommodate edge cases – DBA needs to monitor for replication issues – Won't fix front-end only bottlenecks 11 Store SlaveSlave Admin Report Card MySQL Compatible ✔ Improves Performance ✔ Scales Reads ✔ Scales Writes No Application Changes No Single Point of Failure
- 12. True Multi Master • Pros – Can deliver better overall performance • Cons – Application must keep track of orders and inventory – Latency can cause sync issues – Expensive to develop and maintain – Complexity increases and stability decreases 12 1 1b1a 2 2b2a Report Card MySQL Compatible ✔ Improves Performance ✔ Scales Reads ✔ Scales Writes ✔ No Application Changes No Single Point of Failure
- 13. Partitioning (Magento 2 feature CQRS) • Pros – Able to distribute load • Cons – Can’t join between partitioned segments – Amount of tables able to be partitioned is limited – Harder to maintain—need to track configurations 13 Report Card MySQL Compatible ✔ Improves Performance ✔ Scales Reads ✔ Scales Writes Limited No Application Changes Limited No Single Point of Failure
- 14. NoSQL • Pros: – Runs very fast in non-ACID mode • Cons: – Gains speed from short-cutting of ACID – Commits before writing to disk – No cross-document transactions – NoSQL requires significant application development to swap-out MySQL 14 ACID = Transaction and Data Safety Report Card MySQL Compatible Improves Performance Scales Reads In non- ACID mode Scales Writes ✔ No Application Changes Limited No Single Point of Failure Don’t Drop ACID
- 15. ClustrixDB 15 • Pros – Drop-In Replacement for MySQL – Scales READS and WRITES – Distributed – Shared Nothing – Data Redundancy – Built in high availability solution – Low cost disaster recovery – Elastic in the cloud and data center – Seasonal Flex, Self-Managing Report Card MySQL Compatible ✔ Improves Performance ✔ Scales Reads ✔ Scales Writes ✔ No Application Changes ✔ No Single Point of Failure ✔

Editor's Notes
- #14: Ecommerce success creates site failure Holiday Flash sale You will hit something Ways to fix your upcoming capacity problem
- #24: Cloud Designed for seamless installation and scale-out on any cloud-based infrastructure Capacity Flex up and down, in minutes - If you need more capacity or performance, just connect and go. Massive, linear scalability - Readily handles massive volumes of customers, carts, orders, products, and business performance reporting Extreme concurrency - Manages millions of concurrent actions without impacting site response time Availability Automatic, 100% fault tolerance – High availability architecture to meet always-on demands of business-critical operations No single point of failure – No impact from hardware outages; zero downtime Battle-tested performance – Proven rock solid performance at some the world’s fastest-growing companies. E.g., maintained superior service levels during 600% Cyber Monday sales spike (Choxi) Productivity Plug-in MySQL compatibility - Deploy in days, with few or no code changes. ClustrixDB is compatible with any application that uses MySQL, including the popular Magento platform for e-commerce and internally developed solutions. Eliminates re-architecting the database - Does away with complicated scaling strategies like sharding and replication, which are expensive, labor-intensive, and ultimately unsustainable Self-managing operation – Virtually eliminates DBA operations tasks because the management is built into the database itself
