How to Install and Configure Memcached on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Install and Configure Memcached on RHEL 9

Memcached is a high-performance, distributed in-memory key-value cache designed specifically for caching database query results, session data, and computed values. Unlike Redis, Memcached is deliberately simple — it does not support persistence, replication, or complex data types. This simplicity makes Memcached extremely fast and memory-efficient: it uses a slab allocator to eliminate memory fragmentation and […]

How to Use Percona XtraBackup for MySQL Hot Backups on RHEL 9

Percona XtraBackup is the industry-standard open-source tool for online, non-blocking hot backups of MySQL and MariaDB InnoDB databases. Unlike mysqldump, which produces a logical SQL dump and requires more time for large databases, XtraBackup performs a physical backup — copying InnoDB data files directly while MySQL is running, without acquiring table locks that would block […]

How to Install ClickHouse Columnar Database on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Install ClickHouse Columnar Database on RHEL 9

ClickHouse is a column-oriented database management system (DBMS) designed for Online Analytical Processing (OLAP). Unlike row-oriented databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL) where each row is stored together — efficient for retrieving full records — ClickHouse stores each column separately, making it extremely efficient for aggregation queries that scan specific columns across billions of rows. ClickHouse can process […]

SQLite […]

How to Install Redis 7 on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Install Redis 7 on RHEL 9

Redis (Remote Dictionary Server) is an in-memory data structure store used as a cache, session store, real-time leaderboard, pub/sub message broker, and rate-limiting backend. Redis stores all data in RAM with optional disk persistence, making it orders of magnitude faster than relational databases for lookups: sub-millisecond response times at millions of operations per second. Common […]

How to Install MongoDB 7 on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Install MongoDB 7 on RHEL 9

MongoDB is a document-oriented NoSQL database that stores data as BSON (Binary JSON) documents rather than rows in tables. This schema-flexible approach makes MongoDB ideal for applications with rapidly evolving data models, hierarchical data (product catalogs, user profiles, content management), geospatial queries, and high-volume write workloads. MongoDB 7.x introduced significant improvements including multi-document ACID transactions, […]
