Best Practices for Deploying Confluent Kafka, Spring Boot & Distributed SQL Based Streaming Apps on Kubernetes

In our previous post “Develop IoT Apps with Confluent Kafka, KSQL, Spring Boot & Distributed SQL”, we highlighted how Confluent Kafka, KSQL, Spring Boot and YugaByte DB can be integrated to develop an application responsible for managing Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensor data. In this post, we will review the challenges and best practices associated with deploying such a stateful streaming application on Kubernetes.

Spring Data REST Services Powered By Distributed SQL – A Hands-on Lab

The Spring application development framework is arguably the most popular framework among Java developers. However, given its extensive breadth and depth, it can be difficult to learn for new users. As the name suggests, Spring Boot makes it easy to boot up with the Spring framework. It shortens development time by taking an opinionated view of the framework and the associated third-party libraries.

Develop IoT Apps with Confluent Kafka, KSQL, Spring Boot & Distributed SQL

In our previous post “5 Reasons Why Apache Kafka Needs a Distributed SQL Database”, we highlighted why Kafka-based data services need a distributed SQL database like YugaByte DB as their highly scalable, long-term persistent data store. In this post, we show how Confluent Kafka, KSQL, Spring Boot and YugaByte DB can be integrated to develop an application for managing Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensor data.

Distributed SQL on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) with YugaByte DB’s Helm Chart

The glory days of the heavy-weight hypervisor are slowly fading away, and in the last few years, containerization of applications and services is the new reality. With containerization, enterprises can prototype, deploy, and meet scale demands more quickly. To systematically and efficiently manage these large-scale deployments, enterprises have bet on technologies like Kubernetes (aka k8s), a powerful container orchestrator, to get the job done.

How to Monitor YugaByte DB with Prometheus on Docker?

Observability is absolutely vital to operating business-critical data infrastructure at scale. This is why observability is not an afterthought in the YugaByte DB architecture. Every layer of YugaByte DB exposes metrics in the Prometheus format at the /prometheus-metrics endpoint. Given that Prometheus is essentially the de-facto standard for build-your-own infrastructure monitoring and alerting, you can get started with monitoring YugaByte DB in almost no time.

How to Migrate Data from Cassandra or MySQL to YugaByte DB?

If you work with databases, at some point you are going to need to get data in and out them using a format that can be consumed by a completely different system. YugaByte DB makes use of CSV files to make this as easy as possible. The CSV format is arguably the most universally portable way to get data migrations accomplished.

Distributed Backups in Multi-Region YugaByte DB Clusters

Our post Getting Started with Distributed Backups in YugaByte DB details the core architecture powering distributed backups in YugaByte DB. It also highlights a few backup/restore operations in a single region, multi-AZ cluster. In this post, we perform distributed backups in a multi-region YugaByte DB cluster and verify that we achieve performance characteristics similar to those observed in a single region cluster.

Getting Started with Distributed Backups in YugaByte DB

YugaByte DB is a distributed database with a Google Spanner-inspired strongly consistent replication architecture that is purpose-built for high availability and high performance. This architecture allows administrators to place replicas in independent fault domains, which can be either availability zones or racks in a single region or different regions altogether. These types of multi-AZ or multi-region deployments have the immediate advantage of guaranteeing organizations a higher order of resilience in the event of a zone or region failure.
