MySQL Shell is a powerful tool for managing MySQL databases, and one of its most exciting features is the ability to extend its functionality using plugins. If you're a Python developer, you can create custom plugins to automate tasks, add new commands, or
integrate MySQL Shell with other tools. However debugging the python code could be cumbersome for mysql-shell given the python code requires some specific objects available only when running inside the shell. 

In this blog post, we'll walk you through the steps to set up your development environment for creating MySQL Shell plugins in Python while able to modify and debug the mysql-shell itself.

Prerequisites

Before we dive into the setup, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• MySQL Shell: Download and install MySQL Shell from the official MySQL website.
• Python 3.8 or later: MySQL Shell plugins …

How TLS works in HTTPS

The client (webbrowser) connects to a server on port 443. Then negitiation is done to agree on what encryption method is to be used. The server presents the client with a …

Typically, we receive customer tickets regarding crashes or bugs, where we request a core dump to analyze and identify the root cause or understand the unexpected behavior. To read the core dumps, we also request the linked libraries used by the server’s MySQL. However, there’s a more efficient way to achieve our goal: by using […]

I have been working on MyDumper for over three years now, and I usually don’t use the tax-consistency-only feature during backups because it wasn’t an option I quite understood. So, when reviewing another issue, I stepped into a curious scenario, and I finally got it and decided to share with you what I learned and when it should […]

If you’ve ever wanted to deploy Galera Cluster on Rancher by SUSE, you now can since Galera Cluster is a partner chart in their repository. This means Codership’s Galera Cluster is a SUSE Ready Verified partner. A direct link to the HELM charts for MySQL/Galera Cluster is here.

What is Rancher? Rancher is a Kubernetes management tool to deploy and run clusters anywhere and on any provider. Rancher can provision Kubernetes from a hosted provider, provision compute nodes and then install Kubernetes onto them, or import existing Kubernetes clusters running anywhere.

Rancher comes with very good …
