In a Standalone High Availability (STA) topology, all writes are routed by the Connectors to the Primary MySQL or MariaDB node in a single cluster, with replicas available for the load-balanced read traffic and for the failover to ensure continuous availability. Tungsten STA is perfect for organizations that need reliable database availability and failover without the complexity or cost of multi-site deployments.
3-node (or 2-node + witness) in a single cluster.
One active primary node handles all writes, with replicas available for failover.
Perform database maintenance on any server without downtime.
Ideal for organizations starting with high availability without multi-site complexity.
A SaaS company relies on its MySQL database to handle customer data and sales pipelines. The solution must scale with the growing user base while aligning with the distributed nature of pods.
The SaaS provider deploys Tungsten STA (3-Node) to ensure continuous database availability. This setup ensures automated failover, pod-aware traffic redirection, and simplified maintenance, maintaining continuous database availability within the distributed environment.
A startup needs a reliable database solution to ensure uptime but must also manage costs carefully. They require a setup that balances high availability with affordability.
The startup deploys Tungsten STA (2-Node +) to achieve cost-effective high availability. The lightweight witness ensures failover quorum, while the configuration minimizes costs without compromising reliability. This approach keeps the platform accessible to users, even during unexpected node failures.
Tungsten Cluster solutions are built to support organizations with different needs—from small-scale operations to large, multi-region deployments.
