What is Microsoft SQL Server?
Who uses Microsoft SQL Server?
Microsoft SQL Server Integrations
Here are some stack decisions, common use cases and reviews by companies and developers who chose Microsoft SQL Server in their tech stack.
We are a small bank and we have 5 VMware ESXi servers with mainly Windows Server VMs with numerous windows services installed and most of these servers have Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft IIS installed. Also we have some applications that have application logs (mainly in a db table) and we have a few Hangfire instances and one MQ Series server.
Now the management gave me the task of site reliability (I'm fairly new to this) which means all Windows Services must run 24/7 so I have to know if a service fails to start. All databases must run properly so I have to know locks, Query performance, and any SQL Agent job failures. The same goes for IIS websites/services must be up and running all the time.
In addition to these, I must collect all the Hangfire job failures(which are a lot) as well as general server metrics like CPU, RAM, I/O Disk, Disk sizes, etc.
On top of all these, I must setup alerts via Slack/sms or mail. Now the question which tool or a stack of tools can achieve all that?
Hi Friends, I am planning to create a web and mobile app for eCommerce purposes, which is very similar to Swiggy.com/Zomato. Started this app and created API using .NET Core, Entity Framework, and Microsoft SQL Server as DB. Consuming this API in Flutter for mobile and web UI. Just want some help and suggestions about this selection. Worrying about the application's scalability and performance, please suggest me a good architecture to create this application, which may be used by more people over a period of time.
Which option do you prefer to go with (considering scalability, and a limited budget):
Technologies in use: Angular / .NET Core 6
What do we want to achieve?
We want to create simple near-time web notifications, those notifications can be categorized into 2 sections:
User notification: which represents user activities and engagements.
System notification e.g release notes and maintenance time. The notification object is too simple just a title, body, userId, notificationStatus, and readAt. notification status is an enum with 3 values: unread, menuOpened, Read.
Options:
use Firebase Realtime Database for user notifications and Microsoft SQL Server for system notifications (maybe using long poling or so to frequently call the getSystemNotification API ).
use SignalR to push new notifications along with the SqlServer database and store both user and system into one table (as they almost have the same attributes)
I have a project (in production) that a part of it is generating HTML from JSON object normally we use Microsoft SQL Server only as our main database. but when it comes to this part some team members suggest working with a NoSQL database as we are going to handle JSON data for both retrieval and querying. others replied that will add complexity and we will lose SQL Servers' Unit Of Work which will break the Atomic behavior, and they suggest to continue working with SQL Server since it supports working with JSON. If you have practical experience using JSON with SQL Server, kindly share your feedback.
Looking for the best analytics software for a medium-large-sized firm. We currently use a Microsoft SQL Server database that is analyzed in Tableau desktop/published to Tableau online for users to access dashboards. Is it worth the cost savings/time to switch over to using SSRS or Power BI? Does anyone have experience migrating from Tableau to SSRS /or Power BI? Our other option is to consider using Tableau on-premises instead of online. Using custom SQL with over 3 million rows really decreases performances and results in processing times that greatly exceed our typical experience. Thanks.
