Customers often ask where they should install their MySQL, MariaDB, or Percona MySQL database proxies for high availability clusters, and how many. What is optimal for you may not be the right configuration for everyone. However there are some best practices we’ll discuss in this basic blog about deploying MySQL database proxies.
How the Continuent Proxy selects database cluster nodes for executing read operations.
In this short blog post, we examine the impact that setting the Tungsten cluster policy to Maintenance has on the cluster behavior, and specifically the impact on the Tungsten Connector.
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.).
Learn how and where the Connector communicates, and about the different SSL configurations possible.
View this presentation to learn about two types of (MySQL) database proxies, which we refer to as ‘fast & simple proxy’ and ‘intelligent proxy’; and how transparent failover and read-write splitting works for these.
You can now watch the replay of our High Volume MySQL HA Use Case Webinar: SaaS Continuous Operations with Terabytes of Data; and learn how to guarantee continuous operations for a SaaS provider with billions of daily transaction and terabytes of data with Tungsten MySQL Clusters.
Do-it-Yourself (DIY), database migration; what other approaches are there to challenges of MySQL availability, reliability, scalability and application performance?
Continuent Tungsten enables greater application availability and performance especially across WAN, it saves tons of manual labor and headache, it’s backed by premium 24/7/365 support, and it enables all sorts of new freedom and possibilities for data infrastructure including multi-cloud, hybrid-cloud, and advanced, real-time analytics.
Version 6+ of Tungsten Clustering comes with a host of improvements for your Multi-Site Multi-Master topology (MSMM); this is partly why it has a new name: Composite Master-Master (CMM). Probably the most notable improvement is that the Managers are more aware. What does that mean?
The Tungsten Connector is an intelligent MySQL proxy that provides key high-availability and read-scaling features. This includes the ability to route MySQL queries by inspecting them in-flight.
