I am trying to develop an application using google cloud sql and cloud endpoints , from the google cloud sql documentation i observed that the connector for google cloud sql does not provide any connection pooling mechanism , i tried searching online to get any possible tutorial or documentation that provides a pooling mechanism but no result , The google documentation just states that you should close connections in the finally block without any connection pooling configuration , I also came across pooling libraries like BoneCp, TomcatDbCp , i'm considering using those options but im not sure about their compatibility with google cloud sql . My front end is a web application and pooling is a must for my application , Please any thoughts or suggestions are welcomed .
Cloud SQL itself does not provide connection pooling, however any connection pooling system that supports JDBC will successfully use Cloud SQL. One limitiation, mentioned on this SO answer, is that no native threads are allowed. This user recommends Tomcat DBCP, so that seems like a good place to start.

I am using firebase for storing data through android application. I want to architecture diagram for that application, so can I call the firebase as a server? I am trying to use client server architecture, so for the server, I write firebase as server. Is this correct?
Depending on how you use Firebase Realtime Database in your app, I'd indeed either visualize it as a server or as a database.
I find the latter especially useful if you still want to explain the nature of the app talking directly to a cloud-hosted database. Visualizing it as a server makes it easier to brush over that, so is a good option in cases where that is needed.
I have a project where my end users are using Alteryx to combine data sources and import into SQL server. We are investigating changing SQL server to CosmoDB but I'm not sure if connecting to CosmoDB is supported by Alteryx.
Do anyone know if there is a connector? Am I overthinking this? I don't know Alteryx very well.
There is currently no dedicated connector from Azure Cosmos DB.
However, the Azure Cosmos DB ODBC driver enables you to connect to Azure Cosmos DB using BI analytics tools.
Also, there is an existing REST API for Cosmos DB, it should be possible to access it through a Downloaded tool. You can suggest in the idea section of Alteryx Community to request one.
I literally have to idea how to do that, I thought of using a HTTP server.
Roblox provides their own cloud hosted database for free use via their DataStore database abstraction API. If you really wanted to, you could create your own database server hosted on something like AWS and allow only specific HTTP headers to retrieve/store information.
I created Azure CosmosDb database and container for my documents.
I use NiFi as a main data ingestion tool and want to feed my container with documents from NiFi flow files.
Can anybody please share a way to post flowfile content to Azure Cosmos Db from NiFi?
Thanks in advance
UPDATE(2019.05.26):
In the end I used Python script and called it from NiFi to post messages. I passed a message as a parameter. The reason I chose python is because it has some examples on official Microsoft site with all the required connection settings and libraries, so it was easy to connect to Cosmos.
I tried Mongo component, but couldn't connect to Azure (security config didn't work), didn't really go too far with it as Python script worked just fine.
Azure CosmosDB exposes MongoDB API so you can use the following MongoDB processors which are available in NiFi to read/query/write to & from Azure CosmosDB using Apache NiFi.
DeleteMongo
GetMongo
PutMongo
PutMongoRecord
RunMonogAggregation

Valeria. According to the components list supported by Apache Nifi related to Azure, you could only get Azure Blob Storage, Queue Storage, Event Hub etc,not including Cosmos DB.
So,I suggest you using PutAzureBlobStorage to feed azure blob container with documents from NiFi flow files. Then please create a copy activity pipeline in Azure Data Factory to transfer data from Azure Blob Storage into Azure Cosmos DB.
I have an Azure ASP.NET web application with an Azure SQL Database for authentication. I copied the connection string to my web.config, and it works on my local machine if I debug.
But if I publish it to Azure and open the site from web, when I try to use the DB (for example I try to login), I get the following error:
The operation is not supported for your subscription offer type.
If I try to connect to the DB via Visual Studio Server Explorer, when I try to login to the server I get the same error.
My Azure subscription is a DreamSpark subscription, so it's not a pay-as-you go, but a totally free one (for students). I've searched for this error message and some results were associated with different subscription types (that's why I guess that my problem is in connection with the DreamSpark subscription type) but honestly I couldn't figure out any possible solution.
Thanks for any help!
For Microsoft Azure for DreamSpark subscription, you will initially only be able to
access Azure services that are available with a free tier of service
use.
Your account will start with a zero dollar Spending Limit, which means that you will only be able to consume Azure services within the free tier of the service offer.
You can choose to upgrade to Azure Free Trial, if you have not already created an Azure Free Trial and consume Azure services beyond the free tier.
If you have already created an Azure Free Trial then you have the option to upgrade to a Pay-As-You-Go subscription.
