Idatabase printing1/2/2024 ![]() The first is a library for the legacy application, slated to be sunset. Our current architecture includes three MySQL databases, each on a Cloud SQL Instance. We set up a live replication from Aurora over to Google Cloud, so reads and writes would go to AWS and, from there, shipped to Google Cloud via Cloud SQL’s external master capability. At the time, Thingiverse’s database had ties to our logging ecosystem, so a downtime in the Thingiverse database could impact the entire MakerBot ecosystem. The migration itself had its challenges, but SADA-a Google Cloud Premier Partner-made it a lot less painful. (We’ll explore that in a bit.) A migration made easier Cloud SQL’s fully managed services and features allow us to focus on innovating critical solutions, including a creative replica autoscaling implementation that provides stable, predictable performance. We now store our data in Google Cloud SQL and use Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) to run our applications, rather than hosting our own AWS Kubernetes cluster. Looking to save costs, as well as consolidate and stabilize our technology, we chose to migrate to Google Cloud. Thingiverse has more than two million active users who use the platform to upload, download, or customize new and existing 3D models.īefore our database migration in 2019, we ran Thingiverse on Aurora MySQL 5.6 in Amazon Web Services. That community, Thingiverse, is a hub for discovering, making, and sharing 3D printable things. We now serve one of the largest install bases of 3D printers worldwide and run the largest 3D design community in the world. MakerBot was one of the first companies to make 3D printing accessible and affordable to a wider audience. Here’s how they moved to Google Cloud to save time and offer better service. Their hardware users and community members needed easy access to 3D models, and IT teams needed to offload maintenance operations to focus on product innovation. ![]() Editor’s note: We’re hearing today from MakerBot, a pioneer in the desktop 3D printing industry.
