137 ColdFusion Oracle Cloud Migration with MySQL (from VPS) with Scott Stroz

Scott Stroz talks about “ColdFusion Oracle Cloud Migration with MySQL (from VPS)” in this episode of ColdFusion Alive Podcast with host Michaela Light. “…And the difference between Oracle clouds version of the manage the managed MySQL database is that in Oracle Cloud, it's Enterprise Edition. So if you are using MySQL heatwave in Oracle Cloud, you're actually using Enterprise Edition”. https://youtu.be/g9fce9kEeq8 Show notes What is Oracle Cloud? Oracle cloud services like AWS, GCP, Azure etc Servers, Storage, MySQL, AI etc OCI = Oracle Cloud Infrastructure How does it differ from AWS, GCP, Azure etc? Robust always free tier, not CC required Startups, open source or personal projects Oracle is the steward behind MySQL community edition  MySQL Heatwave is cloud version of MySQL Compare AzureSQL etc Managed db Enterprise edition performance boosts and more security The latest MySQL New features - Ben Nadel posts Open Source version and closed source versions Caught up with MS-SQL Server MariaDB fork Original MySQL dev lead developer/CTO is Michael "Monty" Widenius SQL Server is a 'fork' of Sybase Docker images Auto Tuning and DBA AI and ML Oracle The Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM) provides a holistic tuning solution. Why cloud hosting? Ease - no server management, no hardware management Fast upscale of memory, disk, CPU Fast scaling of extra servers and spin down too Ditto failover CapEx vs OpEx Small and Enterprise good, Medium less 37 signals posts on cloud vs inhouse Regions - data centers  Patching and security  Very hard to hack MySQL cloud Point in time recovery Easier Disaster Recovery Pre-problem detection Why use Oracle Cloud? Always free tier - 4 VMs, ARM CPU Lucee issue on ARM? Fixed with CommandBox https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/  Two Oracle Autonomous Databases with powerful tools like Oracle APEX and Oracle SQL Developer Two AMD Compute VMs Up to 4 instances of ARM Ampere A1 Compute with 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours per month Block, Object, and Archive Storage; Load Balancer and data egress; Monitoring and Notifications Moved from VPS at HostMedia in Europe Lucee on MySQL Issues with migration that you solved Set up MySQL instance (VM) Now would just use HeatWave MySQL Update Datasource in CF Admin Use CommandBox to launch Lucee Paramedic experience and development skills Transferring skills from other careers to developing Deal with high stress - stay calm, calm others in chaos Troubleshooting skills - differential diagnosis - keep checking for evidence is true Intuition on what to do or not to do Layers of bugs New keynote Learning from your mistakes or other people’s mistake Code reviews Opportunity to learn Rotate reviewers  Think bigger picture  Code reuse Open source Time to go, time to stay Why are you proud to use CF? Ortus tools and packages Node packages CF community  WWIT to make CF more alive this year?   Mentioned in this episode Oracle Cloud Inside MySQL: Sakila Speaks  - new podcast, link coming soon CF Hour Dave Ferguson, Scott Stroz and Matt Gifford CF Suicide, Depression, and Recovery with Jorge Reyes From near death to better biz leader with Brie Moreau Forgebox ITB article  CF Summit article Listen to the Audio Bio Scott Stroz Developer Advocate for MySQL 20+ Years as Software Developer/Architect 2 Years as Assistant Network Administrator 2 Years as Operations Manager for large Mobile Health System 14 years as a Paramedic.

Today we're going to be talking about moving your ColdFusion dye into the cloud with Oracle Cloud Migration with Scotts froze, and got it joining us from exotic West Virginia, in the United States of America. And you may not know, Scott, he's been doing cold fusion stuff for years. And he's got some he used to run the CFR podcast with with it, Dave, or who are you running that with? Dave Ferguson? Dave Ferguson? Yeah. And he's the developer advocate for my sequel, which many of the listeners will be using for their database? If they're not still on the dark side with SQL Server? So that was a joke. You said that not me. Yes. We have complete freedom in this podcast, though. So and he also has been doing software development for you said 20 plus years. I'm sure you in your bio, I'm sure you've been doing for 25 years. Scott Stroz 1:00 Not quite, not quite. Also done network administration being an operations manager. And he is also a paramedic. So November's eto, former paramedic, oh, former. I stopped being a paramedic a long time ago. You did. Oh, that's certified anymore. Michaela Light 1:20 Okay. And as well as cold fusion. You also do things with Groovy and Grails Angular view. Micronauts. I think you'd mentioned Python and all kinds of other Sonos. Yeah, node. So yeah, lots of cool stuff. Lots of experience. This man has. Welcome to the show. Thanks. It's great to be here. So I think we should start with the So speak elephant in the room. What is this Oracle cloud thing? Because I've never heard of it until you mentioned it to me. Read more   Michaela Light is the host of the CF Alive Podcast and has interviewed more than 100 ColdFusion experts.
