How to Setup a WordPress MySQL Database in the Cloud

WordPress is the largest website builder platform in the world, supporting over 34% of all websites on the internet today. MySQL is a free open source relational database management system that is leveraged across a majority of WordPress sites, and allows you to query your data such as posts, pages, images, user profiles, and more. As any WordPress developer knows, each installation requires a database in the backend, and MySQL is the database of choice for storing and retrieving your WordPress data.

In order for your WordPress website to be able to access, store and retrieve the data in your MySQL database, it needs to be hosted online through a cloud computing service. ScaleGrid offers a convenient way to setup and configure MySQL hosting for your …

Replace MariaDB 10.3 by MySQL 8.0

Why migrating to MySQL 8.0 ?

MySQL 8.0 brings a lot of new features. These features make MySQL database much more secure (like new authentication, secure password policies and management, …) and fault tolerant (new data dictionary), more powerful (new redo log design, less contention, extreme scale out of InnoDB, …), better operation management (SQL Roles, instant add columns), many (but really many!) replication enhancements and native group replication… and finally many cool stuff like the new Document Store, the new MySQL Shell and MySQL InnoDB Cluster that you should already know if you follow this blog (see these TOP 10 for features for developers and this TOP 10 for DBAs & OPS).

Not anymore a drop in replacement !

Extending WordPress Dockerfile to use MySQL 5.7 (or 8.0)

Oracle’s website shows End of life for MySQL 5.5 as of Jan 20th of 2019, so hurry up and upgrade!

I am working building some demos for Cloud SQL and one of the requirements I had was to run MySQL 5.7 and WordPress as my sample application. The demo consisted on migrating from a single VM environment with WordPress and MySQL running alongside. The narrative: the site got popular and the database became the bottle neck because of all the shared resources between them and the application. The proposed solution? A minimal downtime migration to Cloud SQL, moving the data layer to a dedicated server.

I am going to be doing this demo a lot of times, so I needed some way to automate it. I thought of doing through Docker. I am not Docker proficient, and to begin with I asked …

TEXT and VARCHAR inefficiencies in your db schema

The TEXT and VARCHAR definitions in many db schemas are based on old information – that is, they appear to be presuming restrictions and behaviour from MySQL versions long ago. This has consequences for performance. To us, use of for instance VARCHAR(255) is a key indicator for this. Yep, an anti-pattern.

VARCHAR

In MySQL 4.0, VARCHAR used to be restricted to 255 max. In MySQL 4.1 character sets such as UTF8 were introduced and MySQL 5.1 supports VARCHARs up to 64K-1 in byte length. Thus, any occurrence of VARCHAR(255) indicates some old style logic that needs to be reviewed.

Why not just set the maximum length possible? Well…

A VARCHAR is subject to the character set it’s in, for UTF8 this means either 3 or 4 (utf8mb4) bytes per character can be used. So if one specifies VARCHAR(50) CHARSET utf8mb4, …

MySQL Group Replication, the perfect HA database backend for web hosting

Many web hosting provider are looking for HA solution for the database backend they deliver to their customers.

Galera never became the perfect choice for these environment due to 2 factors:

  1. no DBA really manage the databases
  2. Galera runs database changes in Total Order Isolation

What does that really mean ? In fact, when you are a website hosting provider, you host the website (apache, nginx) on vhosts and you share a database server in which every customer has access to their own schema for their website.

Most of the time, those websites are CMS like Drupal, WordPress or Joomla (and certainly many others sharing the same …
