The utility's API is straightforward and consists of three methods: archive_table — recursive archiving/deletion of rows with specified Primary Keys get_table_references — finding dependencies for a table (it will show the tables that the specified table references and those that reference it) get_rows_references — finding rows […]
Monitoring has become a very important component of growing cloud solutions with the increasing complexity of distributed systems. It is essential for understanding their behavior. Scalable tools are needed that can collect data from all services — providing specialists with a unified interface for performance analysis, error demonstration, availability, and logs. These tools must also be efficient and productive. In this article, we […]
