Choice of data stores is closely tied to business use cases. As Rootconf alumni Kiran Jonnalagadda points out, either you pre-empt growth too early without customers to service (thereby leading to capacity planning, costs and code overheads), or you plan on the basis of current users and growth. In either case, there are no right or wrong answers - just experiences and war stories to share.

This meetup -- sponsored by Elasticsearch -- is about data stores. Talks at the meetup will cover:

  1. Experience stories and insights about data store choices and why these were chosen for specific business contexts.
  2. Migration war stories.

Case studies of data stores other than Elasticsearch will be shared. Submit your talk here: https://hasgeek.com/rootconf/elasticsearch-users-meetup-hyderabad/proposals#call-for-proposal

Supporting utf8 characters in a utf8 mysql table

Submitted Nov 13, 2019

Abstract:

MySQL’s “utf8” encoding only supports three bytes per character. The real UTF-8 encoding needs up to four bytes per character. After upgrading our app’s rails version in production, we started noticing issues in saving objects in the database because of MySQL’s strict mode. We’ll talk about key learnings, the migration itself and best practises for newer apps.

Target Audience:

Developers/Devops Engineers

Outline

  1. How we supported storing utf8 content in our app.
  2. How upgrading the rails version caused MySQL to run in strict mode causing the problems.
  3. How we evaluated our options and chose the final solution.
  4. The actual migration and dealing with ad-hoc issues.

Requirements
