Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/NET 8.0.12 is the second general availability release of
MySQL Connector/NET to add support for the new X DevAPI. The X DevAPI
enables application developers to write code that combines the strengths
of the relational and document models using a modern, NoSQL-like syntax
that does not assume previous experience writing traditional SQL.

We installed Percona XtraDB Cluster and ProxySQL on the staging environment and repointed the staging application to ProxySQL. At first, everything looked great. We were able to do some application tests and everything looked good. I advised the customer to do more testing to make sure everything works well. …
