Last week we ran a live webinar presenting the new MySQL Web Reference Architectures (http://www.mysql.com/why-mysql/white-papers/mysql-reference-architectures-for-scalable-web-infrastructure/), a set of documented and repeatable best practices for building highly available, scaleable and secure database infrastructure to power new generations of web and mobile services.

The webinar replay is now available on-demand (http://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/web-seminars/mysql-reference-architectures-best-practices-for-web-mobile-cloud-applications/) so you can listen in from the comfort of your own desk…or commute.

As a taster - we discuss sizing and design patterns - you can see a sample below:

MySQL 5.6 includes a host of enhancements to replication (http://www.mysql.com/products/enterprise/replication.html), enabling DevOps teams to reliably scale-out their MySQL infrastructure across commodity hardware, on-premise or in the cloud.

One of the most significant enhancements is the introduction of Global Transaction Identifiers (GTIDs) where the primary development motivation was:

- enabling seamless failover or switchover from a replication master to slave

- promoting that slave to the new master

- without manual intervention and with minimal service disruption.

MySQL 5.6 reached GA (General Availability) today and is packed with a wealth of new features and capabilities.  Exciting stuff!
MySQL 5.6 also introduces the largest set of enhancements to replication ever delivered in a single release, including: - 5x higher performance to improve consistency across a cluster and reduce the risks of data loss in the event of a master failing - Self-healing clusters with automatic failover and recovery from outages or planned maintenance - Assured data integrity with checksums implemented across the replication workflow - DevOps automation
Of course, getting started with all of these enhancements can be a challenge - whether you are new to MySQL replication or an experienced user. So two new Guides are available to help take advantage of

Global Transaction Identifiers (GTIDs) are one of the key replication enhancements in MySQL 5.6. GTIDs make it simple to track and compare replication across a master - slave topology. This enables:

- Much simpler recovery from failures of the master,

- Introduces great flexibility in the provisioning and on-going management of multi-tier or ring (circular) replication topologies.

A new on-demand MySQL 5.6 GTID webinar (http://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/web-seminars/mysql-replication-simplifying-scaling-and-ha-with-gtids/) delivered by the replication engineering team is now available, providing deep insight into the design and implementation of GTIDs, and how they enable users to simplify MySQL scaling and HA. The webinar covers:

Data is the currency of today’s web, mobile, social, enterprise and cloud applications. Ensuring data is always available is a top priority for any organization – minutes of downtime will result in significant loss of revenue and reputation.

There is not a “one size fits all” approach to delivering High Availability (HA). Unique application attributes, business requirements, operational capabilities and legacy infrastructure can all influence HA technology selection. And then technology is only one element in delivering HA – “People and Processes” are just as critical as the technology itself.

For this reason, MySQL Enterprise Edition (http://www.mysql.com/products/enterprise/) is available supporting a range of HA solutions, fully certified and supported by Oracle. MySQL Enterprise HA

Following on from my post about MySQL Cluster sessions at the forthcoming Connect conference, its now the turn of MySQL Replication - another technology at the heart of scaling and high availability for MySQL.

Unless you've only just returned from a 6-month alien abduction, you will know that MySQL 5.6 includes the largest set of replication enhancements ever packaged into a single new release:

- Global Transaction IDs + HA utilities for self-healing cluster..(yes both automatic failover and manual switchover available!)

- Crash-safe slaves and binlog

- Binlog Group Commit and Multi-Threaded Slaves for high
