ProxySQL is a very powerful tool, with extended capabilities. This presentation will demonstrate how to use ProxySQL to gain functionality (seamless database backend switch) and correct problems (applications missing connection pooling).

The presentation will be a real-life study on how we use ProxySQL for connection pooling, database failover and load balancing the communication between our (third party) PHP-application and our master-master MySQL-cluster.
Also, we will …

Did you know that Continuent Clustering supports having clusters at multiple sites world-wide with either active-active or active-passive replication meshing them together?

Not only that, but we support a flexible hybrid model that allows for a blended architecture using any combination of node types. So mix-and-match your highly available database layer on bare metal, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, Google Cloud, VMware, etc.

In this article we will discuss using the Active/Passive model to scale reads worldwide.

The model is simple: select one site as the Primary where all writes will happen. The rest of the sites will pull events as quickly as possible over the WAN and make the data available to all local clients. This means your application gets the best of both worlds:

• Simple deployment with no application changes needed. All writes …

Amazon RDS is a managed relational database service that makes it easier to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. One of the common questions that we get is “What is Multi-AZ and how it’s different from Read Replica, do I need both?”.  I have tried to answer this question in this blog post and it depends on your application needs. Are you looking for High Availability (HA), read scalability … or both?

Before we go to into detail, let me explain two common terms used with Amazon AWS.

Region – an AWS region is a separate geographical area like US East (N. Virginia), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), EU (London) etc. Each AWS Region has multiple, isolated locations known as Availability Zones.

Availability Zone (AZ) – AZ is simply one or more data …

The possibilities are endless, as is the business value. This strong topology allows you to have all the benefits of high availability with local reads and writes, while spreading that data globally to be accessible in all regions. Latency is limited only by the WAN link and the speed of the target node.

This aligns perfectly with the distributed Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model where customers and data span the globe. Applications have access to ALL the …

Continuent is very pleased and excited to announce that the new Tungsten Clustering 6.0 and Tungsten Replicator 6.0 are now available for download by our customers. The 6.0 release is the culmination of over a years work within our clustering product in order to improve the functionality and manageability of what we now call our ‘Multimaster Clustering’ solution. This is the replacement for what we called the multi-site, multi-master (MSMM) clustering functionality in earlier releases. The multimaster clustering allows for multiple clusters, in multiple locations, to be linked together into a single composite cluster. Because it’s a composite cluster, you gain all of the functionality that’s already available in a cluster, such as:

• High availability
• Failover
• Automated recovery
• Read-write split
• Maintenance without downtime

But it’s now applied to the …

Codership is pleased to announce the release of Galera Replication library 3.23, implementing wsrep API version 25.

This release incorporates all changes up to MySQL 5.7.21, MySQL 5.6.39 and MySQL 5.5.59, including several fixes to vulnerabilities reported by Oracle in here.

New features and notable fixes in Galera replication since last binary release
by Codership (3.22):

• Write set serialization has been changed to use proper memory alignment in order to avoid crashes on platforms which do not allow unaligned memory access (http://www2.galeracluster.com/e/38852/codership-galera-issues-445/88b8yp/875788176)

Notable bug fixes in MySQL 5.7.21: …

“Our three megastores’ and webshop’s combined revenue was 432 million euros in the year 2017. Galera Cluster has been the cornerstone of the system, secured our sales and supported our growth.”

“MySQL master/slave setup was just too fragile and needed regular work to fix each time the slave got out of sync. Now with Galera we’ve found that even if we take a node offline for a while, it re-syncs automatically and without intervention.”

“The big plus is that all nodes have exact the same information, and no node is running for even a fraction of a second behind. This will also mean that no information will be lost!”
