MySQL Clustering with Asynchronous versus Synchronous Replication
This blog discusses Asynchronous versus Synchronous MySQL replication for MySQL clustering. Synchronous replication is viewed as the ‘holy grail’ of clustering. But unfortunately, when something is too good to be true, it often is. Before the Tungsten cluster solution Continuent built two synchronous replication cluster solutions (m/cluster, uni/cluster), but we abandoned those for good reasons.
Real-Time MySQL Analytics — How to Replicate Data in Real-Time from MySQL, MariaDB or Percona Server to Vertica
Real-Time MySQL Analytics: In this first in a series of blog posts on real-time data replication from MySQL, MariaDB or Percona Server to high-performance data analytics engines (and how to do so easily and cost-effectively with the Tungsten Replicator AMI), we’re focussing on Vertica replication.
What is MySQL Data Replication versus Clustering?
What is the difference between MySQL replication and MySQL clustering? While clustering involves a layer of replication, the capabilities, benefits, and reasons for using clustering versus replication are significant. At Continuent, we offer both clustering and replication for your MySQL, MariaDB, and Percona MySQL - in the cloud, on-prem, hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud, with no application changes or downtime required.
Known Issue Announcement for Tungsten Products and MySQL 8
On Monday April 27th, MySQL released a much anticipated patch release 8.0.20. Along with many bug fixes and improvements, a new property was introduced - binlog-transaction-compression. During our own testing we have discovered an incompatibility with this property. Read on for more information.

Comparing Replication Technologies for MySQL Clustering: Part 1
Real time database replication is a must for clustering and other key business purposes, like reporting. There are a number of replication technologies available for MySQL, and some are even bundled into various solutions. When choosing a replication methodology, it is paramount to understand just how the data moves from source to target. In this blog post, we will examine how asynchronous, synchronous, and "semi-synchronous" replication behave when used for clustering. Also, we will explore how replication affects database performance and data availability.
Handling Bi-Directional Replication between Tungsten Clusters and AWS Aurora
In this blog post, we explore the correct way to implement bi-directional Tungsten Replication between AWS Aurora and Tungsten Clustering for MySQL databases.
