Introducing our new website and its many new features and content elements: the home of Continuent - the MySQL Availability Company.

On Monday April 27th, MySQL released a much anticipated patch release 8.0.20. Along with many bug fixes and improvements, a new property was introduced - binlog-transaction-compression. During our own testing we have discovered an incompatibility with this property. Read on for more information.

This case study blog discusses a Telco provider that specializes in roaming, i.e. complete connectivity solutions around the world. It is our third ‘multi-primary MySQL’ blog in our Continuent MySQL Case Study series.

For this next ‘multi-master MySQL’ blog in our Continuent MySQL Case Study series, we’re focussing on Financial Services Saas providers.

This next blog in our Continuent MySQL Case Study series is a sub-series on the topic of ‘multi-master MySQL’, in which we cover three multi-master MySQL use cases focusing on e-commerce to start with, financial services and telecommunications.

Continuent is pleased to announce the 6.1.3 releases of its Tungsten Clustering and Tungsten Replicator software products for MySQL, MariaDB and Percona Server, which introduces compatibility with MongoDB Atlas (amongst other things).

First we went through an install of a simple three-node cluster using allotted AWS ec2 instances. We created the directories and database users and got the Tungsten Clustering software installed and up-and-running. Then we covered cluster control operations using cctrl, like switch and recover, as well as replicator techniques using trepctl. Some other items on the agenda included an overview of the latest release (which came out last week), replication stages and filters, monitoring, and various useful configurations and options. In Day 2 we learned about backups, and did a deep dive into the various Connector methods and some of their pros and cons.

Continuent is pleased to announce the 6.1.2 releases of its Tungsten Clustering and Tungsten Replicator software products for MySQL, MariaDB and Percona Server.

Our team has continued to pave the way for Continuous MySQL Operations this year with our Continuent Tungsten products: Tungsten Clustering and Tungsten Replicator. With this blog we’d like to take the opportunity to thank you all for your support in 2019, and celebrate some of our successes with you.

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!

Over the past few days we have been working with a number of customers on the best way to handle Triggers within their MySQL environment when combined with Tungsten Replicator. This new blog dives head first into the minefield of Triggers and Replication.
