This blog discusses some of the ways you can configure your MySQL / MariaDB / Percona Server replicas using Tungsten Clustering.

First step of the Tungsten overall “containerization” goal is achieved! The Continuent team wants to share with customers the Tungsten Proxy (originally Tungsten Connector) as a standalone service within a minimal Docker Image.

Sometimes you really, really want to know what a MySQL client is asking of the MySQL server. As of Tungsten Clustering v7.0.0, you may now enable Connector Audit Logging, which captures data transferred between client applications and MySQL servers to a file, database or socket. This blog post will walk you through the feature and how to enable, configure and disable Tungsten Connector Audit Logging.

SmartScale is a special mode of the Tungsten Connector (aka Tungsten Proxy), which allows read requests to be intelligently routed to either a replica or the primary to ensure that the data returned is not stale. This feature is available when the Connector is running in the application-layer Proxy mode. Learn more about the behavior of SmartScale in this blog.

Make It Smarter: Tuning MySQL Client Request Routing for Tungsten Connector

In this blog post we will define what a split-brain scenario means in a MySQL database cluster, and then explore how a Tungsten MySQL database cluster reacts to a split-brain situation.

This blog is about configuring Tungsten for PCI compliance.

In this blog post we will discuss how to use the Tungsten Connector keep-alive feature to ensure long-running MySQL & MariaDB/Percona Server client sessions stay connected in a Tungsten Cluster.
