Serverless applications without worrying about data layer performance. Marty Naming Co-Founder Marty Naming co-founder and developer experience increasing challenges in managing integrations and deploying data-centric solutions as data complexity increases. data-driven application development avoids unnecessary complexity while retaining depth and detail. Fitting perfectly with this philosophy became a key tool in our data journey. It’s time to get started. We’re super excited and can’t wait to see what you’ll build with it. Please share your thoughts as you delve deeper. Engage with us on Let’s build amazing data-driven applications together.
Announcement Data Platform Don’t miss the next post. Supp photo editing servies ort for serverless database drivers is now available in preview. Jarrell Jon Harrell Jon Harrell is releasing preview support for the and serverless database drivers. This feature allows users to leverage existing database drivers to communicate with the database without the need for long-lived connections What is a Serverless Database Driver Traditionally database drivers establish long-lived connections with the database to communicate. Although the connection has some overhead initially there is almost no overhead for ongoing communication making it ideal for server deployments. But long-lived connections can cause problems in a serverless environment.
Given the ephemeral nature of serverless functionality, it can become a tedious job to keep track of connections, close idle connections, handle zombies and maintain an internal connection pool so that the database does not get overwhelmed. In addition to this an increasing number of cloud providers do not allow arbitrary connections which makes it challenging to work with existing databases that rely on connections. Using a traditional database with serverless capabilities can quickly overwhelm the database. Serverless functions drain database connections quickly Serverless functions were developed in response to the above issues to provide a better experience for applications running on serverless.
