If you have just started learning Go or already developing in Go for quite some time, you may noticed that most of the Go packages are imported directly from their respective VCS repositories, but there are some packages imported from URL’s like golang.org/x/text or go.uber.org/zap . If you try to visit such URL’s, you may see different results like being redirected to documentation or just some dummy page. This is completely different from packages hosted on GitHub, for example github....

In these uncertain times and multiple months of remote work, at least we have some more time to dive into something new. I have been developing in Go since 2017, learned some TypeScript in the meantime, but few days ago I wanted to get into Rust once again. First time, approximately a year ago I gave up very quickly, realizing that Rust requires lot of time to learn and I didn’t have that much time at the moment....

The optimization method that will be described here applies just to single and master-slave replicated MySQL/MariaDB instances. If you run some clustered version like Galera , you probably have to find another way because of possible consistence and performance problems during the eventual optimization....

New version should be better in all means so you should switch as soon as possible, if you are already using these technologies. In this article I am going to focus on Linux variant, but the upgrade procedure should be quite similar on OSX or Windows. In order to use protobuf compiler or generator, if you wish, you had to install protoc compiler....
