Connector (Proxy) Deep Dive

Take a deep dive into the Tungsten Connector to choose and configure the right routing strategy for your MySQL applications, comparing Bridge and Proxy modes and exploring Port-, Host-, SQL-based routing, Direct Read, and SmartScale for read/write splitting and session-consistent reads.​

This session walks through connector utilities, QoS controls, and load balancing.​

You’ll learn how to enable each method with key properties, SmartScale flags, user.map configuration, Mixed Mode fallback, and advanced listeners, plus security and memory considerations for production.
