Your database connection drops during peak traffic. How will you quickly troubleshoot the issue?

Por sermos técnicos e especialistas em um assunto, muitas vezes, ao analisar um problema, já começamos imaginando que é algo complexo, porque se fosse algo básico, já saberíamos, o fenômeno "viés de especialização". No entanto, isso pode levar a uma perda de tempo crucial na resolução. Por não sermos "novatos" no assunto, frequentemente deixamos de verificar os aspectos básicos, como um login incorreto, uma string de conexão no formato errado ou um firewall bloqueando o acesso. Esses problemas "básicos" acabam passando despercebidos quando dominamos o assunto, pois tendemos a procurar defeitos em áreas muito mais complexas, que às vezes nem existem.

Collect and Aggregate Logs 1. Log Sources - Application Logs: Logs generated by your application. - System Logs: Logs from the operating system. - Database Logs: Logs from the database server. Network Logs: Logs from network devices (e.g., firewalls, load balancers). 2. Centralized Logging - Log Aggregation Tools: Use tools like ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), Splunk, Graylog, or Fluentd to collect and aggregate logs from different sources. - Cloud Services: Use cloud-based log management services like AWS CloudWatch, Google Cloud Logging, or Azure Monitor.

Lors d’un problème, analyse les journaux et l’historique permet de déterminer les cause de ce problème. On peut donc le corriger et le résoudre ainsi que le prévenir a l’avenir

Configuration 1. Network Issues - Ping and Traceroute - Firewall and Security Groups 2. Database Connection Limits - Max Connections: Check if the maximum number of connections allowed by the database server has been reached. - Connection Pooling: Ensure that connection pooling is properly configured and not exhausted. 3. Database Configuration - Connection Timeout Settings + Timeout Settings + Keep-Alive Settings - Database Locks and Contention + Locks: Check for any long-running queries or transactions that might be causing locks and contention. + Deadlocks: Look for deadlock errors in the logs and resolve any identified issues.

The longer-term solution is Configuration tuning. Adjusting these settings for better performance is important. The settings to be checked would be the cache sizes, connection limits and the buffer sizes. But these settings have to be done keeping in mind the type of database system you are using.

Trong SQL Server, chúng ta có thể sử dụng SQL Server Profiler để Analyzing Performance, Monitoring and Capturing Events, Trace During Off-Peak Hours. Sau đó, chúng ta có thể tối ưu lại câu lệnh SQL bằng các viết lại hoặc sử dụng index.

Query Performance 1. Slow Queries: Identify and optimize slow-running queries that might be causing performance degradation. 2. Indexes: Ensure that the necessary indexes are in place and properly maintained.

Je suis complètement d’accord, il est important d’optimiser les requêtes de la bonne manière pour tout d’abord prendre moins de temps pour l’utilisateur mais moins charger la base de donnée. Cela peut avoir des impact sur l’entièreté de la BDD

Scalability and Load Balancing 1. Horizontal Scaling - Read Replicas: Utilize read replicas to distribute the read load. - Database Sharding: Consider sharding the database to distribute the load across multiple servers. 2. Load Balancers - Load Balancer Configuration: Ensure the load balancer is properly distributing the traffic. - Health Checks: Verify that the health checks are correctly configured to detect and route traffic away from unhealthy instances.

Effectivement l’ajout de ressources pour sa BDD peut drastiquement améliorer les performances de sa BDD. Ajouter des load balancer ou plus de capacité est cruciale.
