Leverage any version of native MySQL, MariaDB, or Percona MySQL.
Get the best, enterprise-grade MySQL operations - without having to migrate to a new database, or change your apps.
Never stop growing with MySQL.
Native open source databases like MySQL and MariaDB are time-tested. With Tungsten, you can set up bi-directional replication from a newer version to an older version - a common use case when performing an upgrade to be able to fail back to the old version. Wtih Tungsten you have more freedom, flexibility, and options than any other solution.
Tungsten makes it easy to switch between MySQL forks and versions. There are few specific requirements - you are free to evolve as your needs change over the years. Tungsten was written to accommodate change.
Galera Cluster is its own "fork" of MySQL - and InnoDB Cluster is not database-neutral as it's developed by Oracle. With DBaaS, you're locked into old versions of MySQL (such as AWS Aurora using MySQL 5.7). With Tungsten you use the only truly vendor-neutral player in the MySQL space.
