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.

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.
