Mykola Marzhan, Release Engineer

Mykola joined Percona in 2016 as a release engineer. He has been developing monitoring systems since 2004, and has been working as Release Engineer/Release Manager/DevOps for ten years. Recently, Mykola achieved an AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Professional) authentication.

Today at Percona Live 2017, the afternoon is jam-packed with open source technology lectures filled with community members eager for the latest on the best strategies – including how you should deploy MongoDB on public clouds.

Dharshan Rangegowda (CEO of ScaleGrid) discussed deploying MongoDB on public clouds. ScaleGrid provides a fully managed Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) solution used today by thousands of developers, startups, and enterprise customers. In this session, Dharshan talked about how public clouds like AWS and Azure have become very popular platforms over the past few years. These public clouds provide a plethora of infrastructure features to help make life easier, He dug into the features/assets that one should be actively leveraging.

On the flip side, there are also a number of potential pitfalls that require attention and might need a workaround. Dharshan reviewed some common architecture patterns you need to have in place to be successful with MongoDB on the public cloud, including high availability, disaster recovery, scaling, performance and others.

After the lecture, Dharshan was kind enough to talk briefly with me about his session. Check it out:
