Alternative to Amazon AWS Aurora MySQL - Tungsten Clustering for MySQL High Availability (HA), Disaster Recovery (DR) and Geographic Distribution
This is the first blog in our ‘High Noon’ comparison series in which we look at the alternative solutions for MySQL high availability, disaster recovery and geographic-distribution. We focus on highly available, geo-scale, multi-region MySQL for business critical applications as directly compared to Amazon Aurora. Tungsten Clustering makes it easy to deploy and manage highly available MySQL clusters with any version of MySQL, MariaDB, and Percona Server for MySQL on-premises, in the cloud, hybrid-cloud or multi-cloud.
Disaster Recovery (DR) for Continuous MySQL Operations: Multi-Site, Hybrid-Cloud, Multi-Cloud MySQL
Disaster Recovery for Continuous MySQL Operations does not have to be hard, but it does have to be WAN: Multi-Site, Hybrid-Cloud, Multi-Cloud. This blog discusses Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery, or “DR,” and an overlooked clustering feature that makes continuous database operations easy, affordable, and manageable.
Connection Basics: For Zero Downtime Geographically-Distributed Apps
This blog provides basic information about business-critical application to database connections; my team focuses on MySQL, MariaDB, and Percona Server for MySQL on Linux/Unix that’s infrastructure-agnostic (on-prem, VM, hybrid-cloud, cloud, multi-cloud, etc.).

Multi-Cloud SaaS Applications: Speed + Availability = Success!
In this blog post, we talk about how to run applications across multiple clouds (i.e. AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure) using Tungsten Clustering. You want your business-critical applications to withstand node, datacenter, availability-zone or regional failures. For SaaS apps, you also want to bring data close to your application users for faster response times and a better user experience. With cross-cloud capability, Tungsten also helps avoid lock-in to any particular cloud provider.
Global Read-Scaling for MySQL / MariaDB / Percona Server using Tungsten Clustering
This distributed topology, perfect for multi-region SaaS models, allows you to have all the benefits of high availability with centralized writes and local reads for all regions. Latency is limited only by the WAN link and the speed of the target node.
