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.).

Watch the replay of this use case webinar to learn about the high availability & disaster recovery challenges companies face when managing single sign-on, large-scale e-commerce portals; and/or sign up for one of our other upcoming use case webinars in this series.

Watch this on-demand webinar to learn the right way to deploy geo-distributed databases. We look at the pitfalls of deploying a single site and passive sites, and from there we show how to provide the best user experience by leveraging geo-distributed MySQL.

We’ve been receiving requests recently from MySQL users wanting to understand how InnoDB Cluster compares to Tungsten Clustering, our MySQL HA, disaster recovery, and geo-clustering solution. In response we have come up with this comparative outline, looking at some of the key features of each.

People approach Continuent for many reasons, including: MySQL Continuous Operations: their business is using MySQL for business-critical applications that require zero downtime, including for maintenance updates MySQL Performance: their application performance and user experience are suffering due to a faltering MySQL backend

How to build a multi-region, multi-master MySQL cloud database back- end capable of serving a global, high-volume cloud contact center: this global SaaS provider is a Cloud Contact Center solution provider, who needs to deliver up-to-date data to clients as quickly as possible.

This is the second post in a series of MySQL case study blogs. It discusses a SaaS provider dealing with sensitive medical data and their need to be able to quickly deploy clusters in AWS and recover from multi-zone AWS outages.

This is the first in a series of use case blogs. It discusses the concept of ‘Geo-scale MySQL’ - or how to build a global, multi-region MySQL cloud back-end capable of serving hundreds of user accounts.
