Learn how to use HAProxy with a Tungsten Connector farm to build a high-availability MySQL proxy layer. Explore deployment architectures, load balancing strategies, and HAProxy configuration examples.

Learn how to optimize MySQL replication performance in Tungsten Cluster by tuning the Applier settings. Improve replication speed, minimize commit overhead, and balance data availability with advanced tuning techniques.

Managing Tungsten Cluster configurations can be challenging, especially when dealing with powerful, yet complex tungsten.ini files. To simplify the process, the new tpm ini command provides an easy way to create, validate, and manage configuration files, helping database administrators streamline their workflow. This new command is available as part of our upcoming V8 software release.

Learn what triggers Tungsten Cluster failsafe-shun and how it helps maintain high availability in MySQL database clusters. Discover key factors and best practices for managing automatic node shunning.

Replication is one of the most critical components of database management, especially in an Active-Active multi-primary composite cluster. However, with great flexibility comes the occasional hiccup. If you’re grappling with intermittent replication failures for a table in your Tungsten Cluster setup, here are five practical approaches to diagnose and resolve the issue.

Securing your cloud environment is now more critical than ever. As organizations increasingly rely on cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), the potential for security breaches and unauthorized access becomes a pressing concern. AWS CloudTrail is a powerful tool that can help you monitor and detect suspicious activities in your AWS account. This blog post will guide you through the process of leveraging AWS CloudTrail to detect account intruders and strengthen your overall security posture.

Tungsten Clustering ensures high availability with robust failover capabilities, driven by the Tungsten Manager's health checks and predefined rules. In this blog post, we explore key processes like handling heartbeat gaps, network partitions, and availability checks. We also provide tips for tuning parameters to optimize performance and maintain a resilient database cluster.

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 software as of version 7.0.0 includes a proper RESTful API - what we call APIv2. This API is fully documented and public.

Tungsten Clustering allows for many types of maintenance to happen with no downtime at all. This blog post will explore how to upgrade the actual MySQL Server on all cluster nodes with zero downtime. These same steps may be used to upgrade the MySQL server or patch the OS.

What are some strategies for improving performance when applying to a MySQL target database with Tungsten Replicator?

This post covers some standard Nagios checks that would help keep your Tungsten cluster nodes running MySQL / MariaDB / Percona Server healthy.

Your MySQL database cluster contains your most business-critical data; in this post, we discuss how to ensure proper performance under load.
