Project mention: RDS Database Migration Series - Facing The Giant: How we migrated 11 TB database | dev.to | 2024-05-13

The primary culprits were two tables (and their huge indexes) that contributed approximately 90% to the total size of the database. One of them was an audit trail (paper trail versions, to be exact), and the second one was more domain-specific for short-term rentals. It's a pre-computed cache of prices for properties depending on various conditions so that they don't need to be computed each time on the fly and can be easily distributed to other services.

At that point, we had to figure out some custom solution, as we didn't want to change the migration strategy from just the full load to the combination of full load and CDC. The good news was that we had already been using something that could be very useful in designing a custom solution - performing a bulk insert (using activerecord-import) of the archived records. It proved to be fast enough to restore a significant number of records. Also, nothing was preventing us from having a way higher parallelization degree than DMS. This could be our solution.

• Apartment

  5 2,649 0.0 Ruby

  Database multi-tenancy for Rack (and Rails) applications

  

Project mention: Figma's Databases team lived to tell the scale | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-14

I recall a popular rails gem[1] once upon a time that provided multi-tenancy via postgres schemas.

As it turns out, even the company the initially developed the gem ended up ditching the approach due to some of the issues you outlined above.

Managing separate schemas feels like one of those nefarious decisions that make things simple _initially_ but get you into a world of hurt when you need to scale. The company is since defunct but they have an article where they discuss why they ditched the approach [2], TL;DR it's too difficult to maintain and scale

Pretty much sure you have seen this magic used outside of Hogwarts before: https://dry-rb.org/gems/dry-validation.
