The latest from the MySQL community
Ideas, releases, practical guides, and perspectives from the people building with MySQL.
At the end of 2021, I pushed the first Docker image to hub.docker.com. This was the first official image and since then, we have been improving our testing and packaging procedures based on Docker, CircleCI, and GitHub Actions. However, when I’m coding, I’m not testing in Docker. But a couple of weeks ago, when I was reviewing an issue, I realized some interesting Docker use cases that I want to share.
Common use case
First, we are going to review how to take a simple backup with MyDumper to warm you up:
docker run --name mydumper
--rm
-v ${backups}:/backups
mydumper/mydumper:v0.14.4-7
sh -c "rm -rf /backups/data;
mydumper -h 172.17.0.5
-o /backups/data
-B test
-v 3
-r 1000
-L /backups/mydumper.log"
You will find the backup …

Historically MySQL is great in horizontal READ scale. The scaling, in that case, is offered by the different number of Replica nodes, no matter if using standard asynchronous replication or synchronous replication.
However, those solutions do not offer the same level of scaling for writes operation.
Why? Because the solutions still rely on writing in one single node that works as Primary. Also, in the case of multi-Primary, the writes will be distributed by transaction. In both cases, when using virtually-synchronous replication, the process will require certification from each node and local (by node) write; as such, the number of writes is NOT distributed across multiple nodes but duplicated.
The main reason behind this is that MySQL is a relational database system (RDBMS), and any data that is going to be written in it must respect the RDBMS …

Discover how to troubleshoot a MySQL replica IO thread stuck in a connecting state. Learn about the replication architecture, security group rules for AWS EC2 instances, and how to address common issues like network restrictions and bind address configuration.
MySQL is a powerful database management and a widely used cloud database service. One of its key features is the ability to create replicas of a master database to improve its availability and scalability. However, at times the IO thread in a MySQL replica may get stuck in a connecting state, which can cause replication issues and affect the overall data consistency …
