3 Things Before Migrating To CloudSQL(MySQL)

If you are going to migrate your MySQL workloads to GCP’s managed database service CloudSQL, then you have to keep these points in mind. We have done a lot of CloudSQL migrations. But sometimes it’s not smooth as we thought. Generally, people don’t even think that these thinks will make the replication failure. I listing 3 things that ate our brain and time while migrating to CloudSQL.

1. Server character set:

CloudSQL by default using utf8 as the server character set. But it is customizable, we can change it any time. But still, it’ll mess up your application later. We had a MySQL server on a VM where the server’s character set was latin1. We dump the database and restore it to CloudSQL. While launching the CloudSQL we didn’t set up any Database flags. So the data restore with utf8 character set.

How to Set Up Replication Between AWS Aurora and an External MySQL Instance

Amazon RDS Aurora (MySQL) provides its own low latency replication. Nevertheless, there are cases where it can be beneficial to set up replication from Aurora to an external MySQL server, as Amazon RDS Aurora is based on MySQL and supports native MySQL replication. Here are some examples of when replicating from Amazon RDS Aurora to an external MySQL server can make good sense:

  • Replicating to another cloud or datacenter (for added redundancy)
  • Need to use an independent reporting slave
  • Need to have an additional physical backup
  • Need to use another MySQL flavor or fork
  • Need to failover to another cloud and back

In this blog post I will share simple step by step instructions on how to do it.

Steps to setup MySQL replication from AWS RDS Aurora to MySQL server

Character Sets: Migrating to utf8mb4 with pt_online_schema_change

Modern applications often feature the use of data in many different languages. This is often true even of applications that only offer a user facing interface in a single language. Many users may, for example, need to enter names which, although using Latin characters, feature diacritics; in other cases, they may need to enter text which contains Chinese or Japanese characters. Even if a user is capable of using an application localized for only one language, it may be necessary to deal with data from a wide variety of languages.

Additionally, increased use of mobile phones has lead to changes in communications behaviour; this includes a vastly increased use of standardized characters intended to convey emotions, often called “emojis” or “emoticons.” Originally, such information was conveyed using ASCII text, such as “:-)” to indicate happiness – but, as noted, this has changed, with many devices automatically converting such …
