Standards allow modern systems to advance, and the REST specification is one very important example.
Since this post is about the Tungsten API in specific, let me simply say this - a RESTful API adheres to six principles: Client-server, stateless, cacheable, uniform interface, layered system and optionally code on demand. As part of the watchability/monitoring goal, our upcoming version 7.0.0 includes a proper RESTful API - what we call APIv2. This API will be fully documented and public.
Oracle MySQL InnoDB Cluster provides high availability and scalability for MySQL. An InnoDB Cluster consists of 3 or more MySQL instances in a local network with group replication enabled, MySQL Shell which is used for management of the cluster, and optionally MySQL Router to provide basic routing from applications to the cluster. While this provides high availability in a local region or site, it does not provide any provisions for disaster recovery (DR) or any multi-site deployment in general, so let’s explore how we could extend the functionality of InnoDB Cluster to deploy at geo-scale.
This blog is about testing time and test suites management. “Battle-tested” is the Continuent Tungsten QA (Quality Assurance) guarantee. Continuent Tungsten is a clustering and replication solution for MySQL and MariaDB used by some of the largest MySQL estates to achieve continuous MySQL operations, locally and globally (HA, DR and Geo Distribution). Besides the stellar support team, and fully-integrated components, customers say: “Stability,” and, “Tungsten just works.”
Prometheus is one of the more popular ways to monitor your resources, and starting with version 7.0.0, Continuent has embedded the Prometheus exporter functionality into our core MySQL and MariaDB clustering products. This blog post covers how to enable the exporters, getting metrics and what metrics are available, along with cli tools, customizing the config, documentation references and a little bit about Grafana Dashboard for Tungsten Clusters.

Continuent provides multiple methods out of the box to monitor the cluster health. It integrates with monitoring and alerting tools like Nagios/NRPE, Zabbix, and Pagerduty. This blog post shows you the thinking behind each included Tungsten Cluster monitoring tool, and when to use which tool.

Doing a search with InnoDB Cluster with DR (Disaster Recovery) yields lots of results, but does it actually work in the enterprise?

For MySQL and MariaDB database clusters, Saas, Fintech and other organizations with mission-critical databases typically require what’s called a managed “composite” cluster, or “cluster-of-clusters.” This blog is about active/active versus active/passive composite clusters for MySQL and MariaDB database systems.

Welcome to the wonderful world of open source! You really are on your own, even if you think you acquire a solution that works. But many of the companies offering solutions based on open source components wrapped with expensive consulting engagements really can’t help you as they are not the original developers of some of the important core components, thus they do not have the necessary skills to fix them either.Welcome to the wonderful world of open source!
