Aurora cluster promises a high availability solution and seamless failover procedure. However, how much is actually the downtime when a failover happens? And how proxySQL can help in minimizing the downtime ? A little sneak peek on the results ProxySQL achieves up to 25x less downtime and the impressive up to ~9800x less errors during unplanned failovers. How proxySQL achieves this:
- Less downtime
- “Queueing” feature when an instance in a hostgroup becomes unavailable.
So what is ProxySQL? ProxySQL is a middle layer between the database and the application. ProxySQL protects databases from high traffic spikes, prevents databases from having high number of connections due to the multiplexing feature and minimizes the impact during planned/unexpected failovers or crashes of DBs.
This blog will continue with measuring the impact of an unexpected …

Percona XtraDB Cluster 8.0.25 (PXC) has introduced a new option to perform online schema modifications: NBO (Non-Blocking Operation).

Until now, we normally have three options:
- Use Total Isolation Order (TOI, the default)
- Use Rolling Schema Upgrade (RSU)
- Use Percona’s online schema change tool (TOI + PTOSC)
Each method has some positive and negative aspects. TOI will lock the whole …
