Multi-Cloud SaaS Applications: Speed + Availability = Success!
In this blog post, we talk about how to run applications across multiple clouds (i.e. AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure) using Tungsten Clustering. You want your business-critical applications to withstand node, datacenter, availability-zone or regional failures. For SaaS apps, you also want to bring data close to your application users for faster response times and a better user experience. With cross-cloud capability, Tungsten also helps avoid lock-in to any particular cloud provider.
Global Read-Scaling for MySQL / MariaDB / Percona Server using Tungsten Clustering
This distributed topology, perfect for multi-region SaaS models, allows you to have all the benefits of high availability with centralized writes and local reads for all regions. Latency is limited only by the WAN link and the speed of the target node.
Converting a MySQL standalone cluster to a Composite Primary/DR topology using INI configuration
In this blog post, we demonstrate how to convert a single standalone MySQL cluster into a Composite Primary/DR topology running in two data centers.
Tungsten and SELinux, a Case Study
In this blog post, we talk about what happened during an installation of the Tungsten Cluster into an environment with SELinux running and mis-configured.
Mastering Tungsten Clustering Series: Configuring Startup on Boot
In this blog post, we talk about how to configure automatic start at boot time for the Tungsten Clustering components.
By default, Tungsten Clustering does not start automatically on boot. To enable Tungsten Clustering to start at boot time, use the deployall script provided to create the necessary boot scripts:
How Bluefin ensures 24/7/365 operation and application availability for PayConex and Decryptx with Tungsten Clustering
Automatic Reconnect in the Tungsten Connector
Tungsten Connector is an essential part of Tungsten Clustering for MySQL, MariaDB, and Percona Server. In this blog post, we talk about the Automatic Reconnect feature in the Tungsten Connector. Automatic reconnect enables the Connector to re-establish a connection in the event of a transient failure.
Manual Switch Behavior Tuning in the Tungsten Connector
In this blog post, we talk about how existing client connections are handled by the Tungsten Connector when a manual master role switch is invoked and how to adjust that behavior. Tungsten Connector is an intelligent proxy that serves an essential role in Tungsten Clustering for MySQL, MariaDB, and Percona Server.
Experience the Power of the Tungsten Connector, an Intelligent MySQL Proxy
The Tungsten Connector is an intelligent MySQL proxy that provides key high-availability and read-scaling features. This includes the ability to route MySQL queries by inspecting them in-flight.
MySQL Client Connection Handling in the Tungsten Connector
Tungsten Connector is an intelligent proxy used in Tungsten Clustering for MySQL / MariaDB / Percona Clustering. In this blog post, we talk about how query connections are handled by the Tungsten Connector, especially read-only connections.
Global MySQL Clustering with Active/Active Meshed Replication
This blog post covers global MySQL / MariaDB / Percona Server clustering with Active/Active meshed replication, the architecture commonly used for globally-distributed SaaS companies.
Tuning for High-Latency Links with Clustering for MySQL / MariaDB
What if I want the cluster to be less sensitive to network, especially WAN latency?
