Master over 100 recipes to design and implement a highly available server with the advanced features of PostgreSQL About This Book • Create a PostgreSQL cluster that stays online even when disaster strikes • Avoid costly downtime and data loss that can ruin your business • Updated to include the newest features introduced in PostgreSQL 9.6 with hands-on industry-driven recipes Who This Book Is For If you are a PostgreSQL DBA working on Linux systems who want a database that never gives up, this book is for you. If you've ever experienced a database outage, restored from a backup, spent hours trying to repair a malfunctioning cluster, or simply want to guarantee system stability, this book is definitely for you. What You Will Learn • Protect your data with PostgreSQL replication and management tools such as Slony, Bucardo, pglogical, and WAL-E • Hardware planning to help your database run efficiently • Prepare for catastrophes and prevent them before they happen • Reduce database resource contention with connection pooling using pgpool and PgBouncer • Automate monitoring and alerts to visualize cluster activity using Nagios and collected • Construct a robust software stack that can detect and fix outages • Learn simple PostgreSQL High Availability with Patroni, or dive into the full power of Pacemaker. In Detail Databases are nothing without the data they store. In the event of a failure - catastrophic or otherwise - immediate recovery is essential. By carefully combining multiple servers, it's even possible to hide the fact a failure occurred at all. From hardware selection to software stacks and horizontal scalability, this book will help you build a versatile PostgreSQL cluster that will survive crashes, resist data corruption, and grow smoothly with customer demand. It all begins with hardware selection for the skeleton of an efficient PostgreSQL database cluster. Then it's on to preventing downtime as well as troubleshooting some real life problems that administrators commonly face. Next, we add database monitoring to the stack, using collectd, Nagios, and Graphite. And no stack is complete without replication using multiple internal and external tools, including the newly released pglogical extension. Pacemaker or Raft consensus tools are the final piece to grant the cluster the ability to heal itself. We even round off by tackling the complex problem of data scalability. This book exploits many new features introduced in PostgreSQL 9.6 to make the database more efficient and adaptive, and most importantly, keep it running. Style and approach This book contains practical recipes that will help the reader solve real world problems related to high availability in PostgreSQL. Every recipe is explained in detail, with relevant explanations, tips and tricks provided for quicker and easier understanding.

Capital-in-Crisis, Trade Unionism and the Question of Revolutionary Agency

Capital-in-Crisis, Trade Unionism and the Question of Revolutionary Agency

Shaun May

Peter Lang International Academic Publishers
2018
nidottu
The entry of the capital relation into its epoch of structural crisis forms the basis for the development of the author’s conception of revolutionary agency. Drawing on the work and achievements of both Marx and Hungarian socialist thinker István Mészáros, May relates the emergence and deepening of the structural crisis to the decline of trade unionism as the traditional and universal form of organization deployed economistically by workers against capital. In the relationship between the «defensively-structured», universal, trade union form and the growing contradictions of the global capitalist system, May seeks to unearth the possibility of a higher form of agency which is more adequately adapted to address the immediate and long-term objectives facing millions of people today worldwide in the age of capital’s «destructive self-reproduction». Looking back in order to look forward, he also subjects the form of agency within the Russian Revolution to a critique which relates it directly to the conditions prevailing in Russia at the time. In so doing, he questions its supposed validity as a form of revolutionary agency for the struggle to put an end to the global capitalist system today.

"I loved it, and think you will, too." --Stephen King Stephen King's It meets Stranger Things in a tender and terrifying coming-of-age tale of haunted houses and the monster at the door. Noah Turner's family are haunted by monsters that are all too real, strange creatures that visit them all: His bookish mother Margaret; Lovecraft-obsessed father Harry; eldest sister Sydney, born for the spotlight; the brilliant but awkward Eunice, a gifted writer and storyteller - the Turners each face their demons alone. When his terminally-ill father becomes obsessed with the construction of an elaborate haunted house - the Wandering Dark - the family grant his last wish, creating themselves a legacy, and a new family business in their grief. But families don't talk about the important things, and they try to shield baby Noah from horrors, both staged and real. As the family falls apart, fighting demons of poverty, loss and sickness, the real monsters grow ever closer. Unbeknownst to them, Noah is being visited by a wolfish beast with glowing orange eyes. Noah is not the first of the Turners to meet the monster, but he is the first to let it into his room...

Tens of thousands of years ago there were majestic birds called Tarridens whose job was to deliver babies. They performed this task very well, all except one particular Tarriden, a not so majestic fellow called Fladge. And because he wasn't very good at delivering babies he got all the lousy jobs like delivering baby alligators and crocodiles that bit him all the time.Shaun Bray's Mammoot, Lost in Time is a thoroughly charming tale about Fladge taking a chance to turn his life around when he chooses to take on a more upmarket delivery involving a highly thought of pair of Mammoths called Lesorus and Rossmina and a cuddly baby Mammoth called Mammoot. Will Fladge succeed, or will Torco, the nasty head Tarriden, be proved right in his rotten assessment of Fladge's abilities? Shumbor has been God of all Elephants and Mammoths for thousands of years and it is now time for the current Shumbor to hand over the reins and as no one even knows he exists; he has to come up with a very elaborate plan.Jumah and Elsa are a pair of young elephants who just liked playing around and being on their own, would relying on a myth, a mere bed time story, help them to help Fladge make his delivery and will destiny play its part in this story that spans tens of thousands of years. Mammoot, Lost in Time is a gentle and funny book with a little bit of danger thrown in: The perfect bedtime story.
