zero downtime

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.

Performing MySQL schema changes often requires downtime for applications. In this blog, we cover two ways we can perform MySQL schema changes without risking downtime or other MySQL data problems. In this real-life customer example, we perform a schema change to modify the column data type from varchar(20) to varchar(50) on approx. 35 tables from 3GB to 10GB in size. Two of the tables are partitioned, and one of them is about 100GB combining all partitions for that table.

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.

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.).
