This is the second post in a series of MySQL case study blogs. It discusses a SaaS provider dealing with sensitive medical data and their need to be able to quickly deploy clusters in AWS and recover from multi-zone AWS outages.
We’re delighted to be able to share that Tungsten Clustering - our flagship product - is named in the DBTA 2020 List of Trend Setting Products!
This is the first in a series of use case blogs. It discusses the concept of ‘Geo-scale MySQL’ - or how to build a global, multi-region MySQL cloud back-end capable of serving hundreds of user accounts.
Real time database replication is a must for clustering and other key business purposes, like reporting. There are a number of replication technologies available for MySQL, and some are even bundled into various solutions. When choosing a replication methodology, it is paramount to understand just how the data moves from source to target. In this blog post, we will examine how asynchronous, synchronous, and "semi-synchronous" replication behave when used for clustering. Also, we will explore how replication affects database performance and data availability.
Read our white paper on Tungsten Clustering for MySQL, MariaDB and Percona Server. Tungsten Clustering allows enterprises running business-critical database applications to cost-effectively achieve continuous operations on a global scale.
Why does the DIY approach fail to deliver vs. the Tungsten Clustering solution for geo-distributed MySQL multimaster deployments? Before we dive into the 10 reasons, note why commercially-supported enterprise software is less risky and in fact less costly.
Database Administration is a tough, often ungrateful job. Especially if you run a 24/7 business-critical MySQL or MariaDB deployment.
Database Proxies provide a single entry point into MySQL for the calling client applications. Proxies are wonderful tools to handle various situations like a master role switch to another node for maintenance, or for transparency with read and write connections. However, when the time comes to perform the switch action, all of the calling clients have been funneled through the proxy, so identification of the calling host from the database itself becomes difficult.
How to move the Relay role to another node in a Composite Tungsten Cluster
Tungsten Clustering provides high availability, disaster recovery, and a host of other benefits for MySQL / MariaDB / Percona Server databases. In this blog post we will explore some of the shell aliases I use every day to administer various Tungsten Clusters.
This blog explains data replication and clustering in a way that anybody can understand.
