Inventory management on Black Friday: Challenges and solutions

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are like the Superbowl for retailers. Instead of point spreads, though, e-commerce companies are betting on peak sales numbers. But while the deluge of deals evokes dreams of dollars for CEOs, the surging site traffic can be more of a nightmare for CTOs. The onslaught of shoppers puts huge amounts of stress on their application architecture. In this scenario, even a minor problem with inventory management can cause major consequences.

How CockroachDB Implements UDFs and SPs

User-defined functions (UDFs) and stored procedures (SPs) allow users to define a set of queries that can be executed at the database by providing only the function or procedure name and any relevant parameters. They provide building blocks for users to compose complex queries, which makes applications less error prone since users don’t need to repeatedly provide the complex query. Another benefit of UDFs/SPs is that they enable better performance by moving more computation closer to the data. There are fewer round trips between the application and database to get the results the user wants.

Why we need a multi-cloud database, and how to build one

In our State of Multi-Cloud 2024 report, we were a bit surprised to find that half of our respondents said their companies were already multi-cloud, and of those, half had already begun working with complex multi-cloud deployment patterns like deploying a single workload across multiple clouds. What are the benefits of that sort of complex deployment, and how can it actually be achieved in the real world to bring the advantages of multi-cloud to mission-critical workloads like your transactional database workloads?
