Google Cloud Databases Helps Loyal Guru Slash Query Latency

Google Cloud Databases

The folks at Loyal Guru are aware of the difficulties merchants have in fostering consumer engagement and loyalty in the face of quickly changing consumer demands. Retail clients can use Loyal Guru’s loyalty and offer personalization platform to analyse customer data and dynamically customise promotions to match specific contexts and preferences. The objective is to assist shops in building enduring relationships by making them more relevant.

Innovation is essential to us because the retail industry is constantly changing and neither should they. Loyal Guru was aware that a strong platform will enable the rapid and large-scale delivery of fully personalised experiences. For the purpose of managing Loyal Guru’s databases and infrastructure, Loyal Guru teamed with Google Cloud. AlloyDB offers the performance and agility required to continuously improve the features of Loyal Guru’s platform and assist us in seeing new patterns rather than just responding to them. These technologies work well along with other Google  Cloud databases offerings like Firestore and BigQuery.

Enabling customisation with high-performance database systems

With customised offers, promotions, and brand experiences, merchants can connect customers on a deep level with the aid of Loyal Guru. However, sophisticated data processing and analytics capabilities are needed to deliver this at scale. Retailers who want to achieve precise audience segmentation and dynamic offer changes that maximise relevance must absorb and act upon customers’ behavioural data in real time across various touchpoints.

These vital personalisation features require a scalable, high-performance database to power. Customers of Loyal Guru want immediate access to transactional records, offer specifics, customer data, and more for updating and querying during customer interactions. Database overload causes sluggish replies and unsatisfactory client experiences. For this reason, Loyal Guru decided to use Google  Cloud databases as the foundation for their platform.

A scalable, safe database approach

Firestore, BigQuery, and AlloyDB for PostgreSQL are the three potent Google  Cloud databases technologies at the centre of Loyal Guru’s architecture.

Transactional workloads using AlloyDB

Loyal Guru’s relational database, AlloyDB, provides better performance and faster analytical capabilities than they had anticipated. Loyal Guru was aware that Google Cloud databases offer remarkable scalability and speed. AlloyDB powers all of Loyal Guru’s essential transactional functions, such as offer redemptions, user profiles, and loyalty programme details. It guarantees dependable, latency-free access to this vital data for Loyal Guru APIs. It also offers a solid platform on which to begin leveraging the capabilities of Gemini and AlloyDB to develop generative AI applications that will enable Loyal Guru to offer more services.

Large traffic surges from significant shopping events on Loyal Guru frequently resulted in bottlenecks prior to the use of AlloyDB. The proliferation of data was difficult for Loyal Guru to handle, pushing the boundaries of their storage capacity. These problems have been significantly reduced by AlloyDB’s autopilot storage management feature, which automatically modifies store capacity to satisfy Loyal Guru demands without the need for human involvement. In total, Loyal Guru optimised storage from 2TB to 1.3TB, a 35% improvement, and decreased query latency by 40–50%.

Firestore for reads with a high concurrency

For high-throughput read operations on comparatively static data, such loyalty point balances and product catalogues, Loyal Guru uses Firestore in Datastore Mode. Its capacity to manage high concurrency without sacrificing speed makes it perfect for workloads that require a lot of reading. Because of this, Loyal Guru’s platform was able to continue operating with great availability and performance even when stores utilising its services sent in the highest read loads.

BigQuery for data analysis

Loyal Guru processes massive behavioural datasets through BigQuery for analytics and business intelligence in order to maximise the value from its data assets. As the data warehouse solution for Loyal Guru, Loyal Guru uses BigQuery to execute intricate queries, show patterns, and provide insights that inform strategic choices. Based on the data of Loyal Guru customers, these analytics capabilities are essential for optimising marketing tactics, product roadmaps, and Loyal Guru personalization models. Their ability to process large datasets and intricate queries quickly is further enhanced by BigQuery’s scalable and fully managed architecture, which keeps us free from infrastructure bottlenecks.

To assist us deliver a safe service with high availability, Loyal Guru uses a number of Google  Cloud databases components in addition to these three data products. We can scale Loyal Guru APIs automatically thanks to Google App Engine’s flexible environment, and Loyal Guru uses Firebase Hosting to host their progressive web app (PWA) for campaign management. For cloud-native security and traffic distribution, Loyal Guru also uses  Cloud Armour and Cloud Load Balancing.

Loyal Guru may increase the scalability and dependability of their services through cloud balancing by enhancing rotation and escalation procedures. In addition, Loyal Guru can screen outgoing or invalid attacks before they reach the GAE Service. This works in tandem with Cloud Armour, enabling us to identify certain attack attempts such as XSS, SQLi, and other prevalent malevolent activities.

Loyal Guru is still using Google Cloud

Loyal Guru has enhanced security, raised database speed, and met Loyal Guru SLA promises to their clients by optimising their infrastructure with Google Cloud’s completely managed services. Their Loyal Guru APIs now have roughly 60% less latency when connecting to Google  Cloud databases.

Loyal Guru intends to use read replicas in the future for improved availability and dependability. Additionally, Loyal Guru wants to take use of AlloyDB’s impending horizontal scalability features to facilitate future growth. To get closer to real-time operational procedures, Loyal Guru also intends to shift a portion of its BigQuery workloads to AlloyDB.

Google  Cloud Database

For Loyal Guru, Google Cloud’s robust database services have changed the game by enabling us to reliably and scalable provide shops with relevant content. These Google Cloud databases will be essential for fostering innovation and exceeding client expectations as Loyal Guru keeps pushing the envelope.

Топ-5 инструментов для работы с базами данных

При создании сайтов и разработке мобильных приложений для стартапа, одним из важнейших аспектов является эффективная работа с базами данных. В современном мире данные играют ключевую роль, и их правильное хранение и обработка — это основа любого успешного проекта. В этой статье я расскажу о пяти лучших инструментах для работы с базами данных, которые я использую в своей ежедневной практике.

1. PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL — это одна из самых мощных и популярных реляционных б��з данных с открытым исходным кодом. Для создания сайтов и веб-приложений, где необходима высокая производительность и гибкость, PostgreSQL является отличным выбором. Он поддерживает сложные запросы, транзакции, а также работу с большими объёмами данных.

Особенно ценю в PostgreSQL его расширяемость и поддержка различных типов данных. Он идеально подходит для проектов, где требуется надёжность и высокая степень точности.

2. MySQL

MySQL — ещё одна популярная реляционная база данных, которая давно зарекомендовала себя в индустрии. Она проста в настройке, имеет широкую документацию и поддерживается множеством хостинговых сервисов. Для многих стартапов и малых проектов MySQL — это оптимальный выбор, особенно если важна скорость работы с базой данных и минимальные требования к серверным рес��рсам.

Я использую MySQL для проектов, где не требуется сложная структура данных, но важна высокая скорость чтения и записи.

3. MongoDB

Если вам нужно работать с нереляционными данными или проект требует хранения данных в формате JSON, MongoDB — это идеальный инструмент. Он подходит для создания гибких и масштабируемых решений, что особенно важно при работе с мобильными приложениями и создании сайтов, где часто возникают изменения в структуре данных.

MongoDB позволяет хранить данные в виде документов, что даёт большую свободу в проектировании базы данных. Его часто используют для крупных проектов с высоким уровнем неопределённости в структуре данных или с потребностью в горизонтальном масштабировании.

4. Redis

Redis — это высокоскоростная база данных в памяти, которая используется для кэширования и обработки данных с низкой задержкой. Когда я работаю с мобильными приложениями или проектами, где необходима быстрая реакция на запросы пользователей, я обязательно использую Redis для кэширования часто запрашиваемых данных.

Его также можно использовать для реализации очередей сообщений, сессий пользователей и даже хранения временных данных. Redis идеально подходит для использования в проектах, где важна высокая скорость обработки запросов.

5. Firebase

Firebase — это платформа для разработки мобильных и веб-приложений, предоставляющая мощные инструменты для работы с базами данных. Она включает в себя Firestore, который является облачной базой данных NoSQL. Firebase позволяет быстро создавать масштабируемые приложения с реальным временем синхронизации данных между клиентами.

Я использую Firebase, когда требуется минимизировать время на настройку базы данных, а также когда нужно интегрировать данные с другими сервисами Google, такими как аутентификация, аналитика или хостинг.

Работа с базами данных — это важная часть создания сайтов и разработки мобильных приложений. В зависимости от требований проекта, выбор инструмента может сильно повлиять на производительность, масштабируемость и гибкость приложения. В своей практике я использую различные базы данных, такие как PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis и Firebase, в зависимости от особенностей проекта.

Если вы хотите выбрать оптимальный инструмент для работы с данными, всегда учитывайте особенности вашего приложения и задачи, которые вам предстоит решить. Каждая из баз данных, о которых я упомянул, обладает своими преимуществами, и правильный выбор зависит от конкретных условий вашего стартапа.

Introduction to Databases

A database is an organized collection of data that is stored and managed electronically. It allows users to store, retrieve, and manipulate data efficiently. Databases are essential for businesses, websites, and applications that require structured data management.

Key Concepts of Databases

Data – Raw facts or information stored in a database (e.g., names, numbers, dates).

Database Management System (DBMS) – Software used to create, manage, and interact with databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB).

Tables – Databases store data in structured formats, often in tables with rows and columns.

Queries – Commands used to retrieve or manipulate data (e.g., SQL queries).

Schemas – The structure of a database, defining how data is organized.

Types of Databases

Relational Databases (RDBMS) – Uses tables and structured query language (SQL) (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle).

NoSQL Databases – Designed for unstructured or semi-structured data (e.g., MongoDB, Firebase, Cassandra).

Cloud Databases – Hosted on cloud platforms for scalability (e.g., AWS RDS, Google Cloud Firestore).

Graph Databases – Stores relationships between data in graph format (e.g., Neo4j).

Importance of Databases

Efficiently stores and retrieves large amounts of data.

Ensures data integrity and security.

Supports multi-user access.

Enables businesses to make data-driv

Firestore Database: Now supports Multiple Databases

We are pleased to inform that Google were announced that Firestore Multiple Databases is now generally available. This feature improves data separation, security, resource management, and cost tracking by allowing you to manage multiple Firestore databases within a single Google Cloud project. With this milestone, all of Firestore’s SDKs, terraform resources, and the Google Cloud console now fully support multiple databases.

Strong data separation and performance are guaranteed by the independent isolation that each Firestore database enjoys. For instance, hotspotting traffic loads on one database won’t have a detrimental effect on how well other databases in the project operate.

How to create Firestore Database?

Here’s how to use the console to quickly create a new Firestore database:

Go to the Firestore service by navigating.

Select “CREATE DATABASE” from the menu.

Select a database id to act as your database’s unique identifier.

Choose the desired settings for the database configuration (Database Mode, Location, Configuration of Security Rules, etc.).

Do you want even more authority over the development and upkeep of your Firestore database? The Firestore database can be created and managed with Terraform, Firebase CLI, and gcloud. See the Firestore documentation’s “Create a database” section for a comprehensive walkthrough of these options.

Set up Firestore database security

Through IAM conditions, Firestore enables you to apply fine-grained security configurations on a single database. This feature enables precise, granular control by enabling the application of different security policies to different databases. As an example, you can only allow access to particular databases for particular user groups, which guarantees strong security and data isolation.

Using the conditions editor tool, apply the following conditions to a particular database:

Select the resource “firestore.googleapis.com”.kind

Enter the database resource name in the format “projects//databases/” as resource.name.

A few things to consider when setting up a security policy are:

If no condition is specified, all Firestore databases in the project will be automatically accessible to all IAM principals who are granted permission.

Tags are integrated with Firestore. By using a tag association, the integration enables you to allow or prohibit access to a specific set of databases. For further details, see the documentation for Conditional Access and Tags.

Similar to Firebase Security Rules, Firestore gives you more precise control over database access inside of your Firebase project. See the “Set up Firestore Security Rules” section for detailed instructions on how to further explore Granular Firebase Security Rules for Firestore.

View database costs and usage along with a billing breakdown

Per-database billing and usage breakdowns are provided by Firestore. You can use BigQuery to retrieve this cost data. The query that follows, for instance, shows how to obtain usage information for October 18, 2023 (UTC), broken down by specific Firestore database IDs.

For detailed instructions on setting up a smooth workflow for exporting your Cloud Billing data to BigQuery, please refer to the Cloud Billing documentation. Tags can also be used to enable fine-grained cost distribution among several Firestore databases. Please refer to the documentation titled “Structure of Detailed data export” for a more thorough understanding of the resulting data structure and schema.

Delete a Firestore database

A few things to consider before deleting the database are:

Deletion: Firestore removes data on your behalf after it has been deleted.

Cost: There are no extra expenses related to carrying out the deletion process. After the deletion operation, Firestore stops billing you for the storage cost one day later.

Backups: The resource lifecycles of Firestore backups are independent. The backups connected to the source database will not be erased automatically when your Firestore database is removed.

Backup Firestore database

It is advised that you create a new database with the resource name {(default)} if you are unfamiliar with the Firestore. Free-tier support is available for the (default) database, so you can test out Firestore’s features without having to pay anything up front. Moreover, the default database is the only one supported by the legacy App Engine runtime.

For vital databases, always have delete protection enabled. In production environments, this safeguard helps maintain data integrity by preventing accidental deletion.

Because they cannot be changed after creation, database resource names and locations should be carefully chosen during creation. On the other hand, you can remove the current database and then make a new one in a different location with the same resource name as needed. By doing this, you can change the location while keeping the resource name the same. If you intend to recover your data at the new location, don’t forget to make a backup of it beforehand.

What comes next?

The ability to manage multiple Firestore databases will soon be available in Firebase Console. Keep checking back!
