Building modern apps that scale to billions of events with Azure Database for Postgres | Ignite 2019 | Umur Cubukcu

Come learn why customers call Hyperscale (Citus) a game changer (their words, not ours.) With the launch of Hyperscale (Citus), you can now scale out real-time analytics workloads horizontally using Azure Database for PostgreSQL. This session explores why so many developers are adopting the open source Postgres database, and highlights what makes our managed Postgres service on Azure unique. Then, we dive into real-world use cases to show how you can build scalable real-time analytics apps using Azure, Postgres, and Hyperscale (Citus). In particular, we show how one team built a petabyte-scale analytics dashboard that supports real-time decision making with response times of 90 ms—even with 6M queries/day across billions of rows.

  7. Customers rely on Hyperscale (Citus) for mission critical workloads across

    industries Use Case Multi-Tenant, Industrial IoT storing measurement data from IoT platform. Use Case Patient data retention and access through bi-directional interface engine. Use Case Realtime Analytics with future Multi-Tenant and OLTP needs. B2B SaaS platform – AI for sales motions – buying “proclivity” engine Use Case Computer Vision software to optimize Flipkart supply chain Industrial IoT & Insurance Healthcare Retail ISVs: SaaS applications Value Prop Ability to parallelize data ingest, and roll-up to aggregated tables on same database. Keep up with data capture from sensors in the field, with fast read/write access Value Prop Scalability: average customer generates 3-4TB. Now running 5 (5 node) clusters, each with 10TB of customer data. Can rapidly expand cluster to meet customer requirement. Value Prop Efficient supply chain inventory tracking. Leveraging AI to improve product tracking data accuracy that scales. 20x faster queries. Geospatial data with PostGIS. Value Prop Better scale, and 10x faster performance. PaaS and Microsoft ecosystem
  8. Scale horizontally across hundreds of cores with Hyperscale (Citus) Shard

    your Postgres database across multiple nodes to give your application more memory, compute, and disk storage Easily add worker nodes to achieve horizontal scale Scale up to 100s of nodes Coordinator Table metadata Each node PostgreSQL with Citus installed 1 shard = 1 PostgreSQL table Sharding data across multiple nodes
  9. Hyperscale (Citus) effectively manages data scale-out ž Shard rebalancer redistributes

    shards across old and new worker nodes for balanced data scale-out ž Shard rebalancer will recommend rebalance when shards can be placed more evenly ž For more control, use tenant isolation to easily allocate dedicated to specific tenants with greater needs Hyperscale (Citus) Cloud Shard Rebalancer
  10. Scaling out storage vs. compute for your RDBMS Query endpoint

    Query endpoint Primary Replica Replica Scaling storage Shared storage layer Data Node 1 Data Node 2 Data Node 3 N# Scaling out compute, memory & storage

    events. Notification Hubs Devices Event Hubs Raw Events Azure Databricks Scheduled process Browser Aggregations App Service 1. Stream millions of events per second from devices and sensors into a scalable system that speaks and understands Apache Kafka. Build downstream pipelines to process, manipulate, and ingest your data 2. Ingest millions of raw transactional events into Hyperscale (Citus) per second, allowing you to query and alert on granular events 3. Perform incremental rollups directly in your database at granularities you define such as minutely, hourly, daily, to real-time reporting and dashboarding for down stream applications 4. Take advantage of Azure Databricks to clean, transform, and analyze the streaming data, and combine it with structured data from operational databases or data warehouses 5.

  14. High-throughput transactional / OLTP applications Azure DB for PostgreSQL Hyperscale

    (Citus) “scale out” • Lower costs: better use of memory, and storage scaling. Does not need to split into multiple DBs • Sub-second responses across many users (high concurrency) • Easy to add new nodes • Evolve with large, open source ecosystem • Faster: load and indexing • Limited compute and memory scaling to single node. Storage scale out limited to 64 TB. • Performance deteriorates with increased user concurrency • Performance: Resource utilization • Proprietary options, with lock-in. • Combine the power of relational semantics, with horizontal scalability • Simplify your application development, without re-architecting your applications just for scale • Leverage Postgres: Reliability, rich data types, extensions, & expertise. • Build with open source. Avoid lock-in. • Cut costs and reduce data duplication. Use high- performance JOINs, or combine with json data when you want to. • Keep millisecond responses, while growing to 100’s of terabytes of data. Power of PostgreSQL and globally consistent transactions at scale with low latency Scale up
