These extensions are quite helpful!
YDB
YDB is an open-source Distributed SQL Database that combines high availability and scalability with strong consistency and ACID transactions.
True Elastic ScalabilityAdd or remove nodes to easily scale up and scale down as needed. YDB is proven to work in real production with millions of transactions per second and petabytes of data for mission-critical, real-time applications.
Fault-tolerantYDB is designed to work in three availability zones, ensuring availability even if a node or availability zone goes offline.
Easy to useYDB combines strong consistency, ACID transactions, high performance queries, fast data ingest with a familiar SQL dialect and JSON API support. Works with any modern workloads: key-value, relational, JSON.
Automatic disaster recoveryAutomatic recovery after a disk, server, or even a data center fails, with minimum latency disruptions for applications.
Available in any cloudYDB is available for self-deployment, including Kubernetes, on-premise and cloud environments.
Open SourceLicensed under Apache 2.0.
No risk of cloud or vendor lock-in.
Market Cart
The Cart is one of the key components of any marketplace or online store.
Using YDB as a database allowed Market Cart to withstand a hundredfold increase in the load on the Cart, while observing strict guarantees for response times.
Moreover, the migration was completed by just one developer in one month.
Dealing with suddenly increasing workloadsYDB’s elasticity allows you to quickly change the amount of resources allocated to the database, adjusting the throughput in accordance with the load. Easily increase or decrease the amount of computing resources as necessary depending on approaching increased workloads, like Black Friday or as the result of your planned marketing campaigns.
Cache with SQL interfaceLow response times and throughput scalability allow YDB to be used simultaneously as an online database and a precomputed cache. SQL access significantly increases usability and enables operational analytics on data in the cache. Tour operator and travel aggregator websites, for example, can use YDB to cache flight or tour search results, as well as recalculate prices and check seasonal availability.
Jaeger TracingSignificant comparative efficiency in computing resources and scalability make Jaeger trace recording cost-effective and easy to use. Time-tested, proven effective.
Document databaseSupport for the JSON API and the JSONDocument data type expands YDB’s capabilities as a document database.
Centralized inventory tracking systemYDB ensures strong transaction consistency. This allows you to provide a consistent view of inventory in thousands of warehouses and retail facilities, and makes YDB the right choice for E-commerce, warehouse, and transport logistics applications.
Storage for the IoT EcosystemWith automatic sharding support, YDB lets you handle data streams from a wide range of devices: the load profile used in IoT projects.
YDB architectureWe use commodity hardware and shared-nothing architecture, disaggregated compute and storage layers, and build a system based on logical components – tablets.
HierarchySimilar to a file system tables could be organized into a hierarchy using directories.
TableYDB provides users with a familiar abstraction: tables. Tables must contain a primary key, the data is sorted by the primary key. Tables are automatically sharded by primary key range by size or load.
Split by loadThe tablet will automatically split when the load increases.
Split by sizeThe tablet will automatically split when the size increases.
Automatic balancingYDB evenly distributes tablets among the nodes, and moves loaded tablets from loaded nodes. CPU, Memory, Network metrics are tracked.
Distributed Storage InternalsWe write all the code for working with block devices ourselves. The PDisk component is responsible for working with the block device. Above PDisk is the VDisk abstraction layer. There is a special component — DSProxy between the tablet (part of the table) and VDisk. DSProxy analyzes disk availability and characteristics and depending on it can make a decision to exclude the disk from work.
DSProxyYDB writes data to 3 Availability Zones, doesn’t send requests to obviously bad disks, and continues to operate without interruption even if one AZ and a disk in another AZ are lost.
Docker
Pull the current public version of the Docker image:
docker pull cr.yandex/yc/yandex-docker-local-ydb:latest
Create a working directory and start the container from it:
docker run -d –rm –name ydb-local -h localhost -p 2135:2135 -p 8765:8765 -p 2136:2136 -v $(pwd)/ydb_certs:/ydb_certs -v $(pwd)/ydb_data:/ydb_data -e YDB_DEFAULT_LOG_LEVEL=NOTICE -e GRPC_TLS_PORT=2135 -e GRPC_PORT=2136 -e MON_PORT=8765 cr.yandex/yc/yandex-docker-local-ydb:latest
