The Intelligent MySQL Proxy
What Is Tungsten Proxy?
Tungsten Proxy is a cloud-based, advanced, intelligent MySQL proxy on the MySQL ecosystem (MySQL, MariaDB, AWS RDS MySQL, and Aurora) that provides key high-availability and read-scaling features. This includes the ability to route MySQL queries by inspecting them in-flight as well as zero downtime reconfiguration upon primary switch.
High Availability
Read-Scaling
Route MySQL Queries
Zero Downtime
Standalone or Part of Tungsten Clustering
Tungsten Proxy builds upon the well-established Tungsten Connector - the intelligent MySQL proxy for Tungsten Clustering, our geo-distributed MySQL / MariaDB high-availability and disaster-recovery clustering solution with zero downtime maintenance for continuous operations.
Tungsten Proxy offers the exact same functionality as Tungsten Connector with the convenience that comes with an ad-hoc online service: cost-effective, rapid and automated deployment.
How Tungsten Proxy Works
Tungsten Proxy acts as an intelligent MySQL proxy service, sitting between client applications and MySQL data sources in order to balance the load and provide high availability (HA) support. The proxy routes connections from your application servers to the data sources within the cluster, automatically distributing and redirecting queries to each data source according to load balancing and availability requirements.

Why Use Tungsten Proxy - All The Benefits
Intelligent traffic routing to a valid MySQL primary, locally and globally
Scale read queries via query inspection and other methods
Application and active users do not disconnect during MySQL primary failover events
Tungsten Proxy - Key Features
Failover Handling
In the event of data server loss, Tungsten Proxy can reconnect the application without any down time to a valid datasource
Intelligent Traffic Routing
Provides means to route traffic to valid MySQL primary or replicas depending on their physical location
Scale Read
Distribute load via query inspection
No Disconnect
Applications and active users are not disconnected during MySQL primary failover
Load Balancing Algorithm Configuration
Offers possibility to configure means to select the appropriate replica (i.e. Round-Robin, Lowest-Latency, Most Advanced Replica)
