The MySQL Server High Availability landscape provides with a slew of tools to help you ensure that your databases keep humming. Such tools are Galera Cluster, however, it is worth looking at semi-synchronous replication with failover tools, and also the usual leader-follower asynchronous replication. Today more workloads are moving to the cloud, and what failover options do you get with Amazon RDS for MySQL or even Aurora? What about the newfangled group replication and InnoDB Cluster? And let us not forget that Galera Cluster has spawned branches too!

Join Codership, the developers and experts of Galera Cluster,  as we discuss where Galera Cluster fits in and how to get best out of it.

Do you want to run Galera Cluster in the cloud? Why not learn to setup a 3-node Galera Cluster using Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), and run it yourself (3-node because this is the minimum preferred size; you can have a 5, 7, or 9 node cluster too — not in the demo though!). In this webinar, we will cover the steps to do this, with a demonstration of how easy it is for you to do. We will also cover how you may want to load balance traffic to your Galera Cluster using a proxy like ProxySQL.

In addition, we will cover why you may want to run a 3-node (or more) Galera Cluster (multi-master synchronous clusters) instead of (or in addition to) using Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) MySQL, which has the ability to have asynchronous replication (Read Replicas), and High Availability provided by DRBD (Multi-AZ). We will also cover where Galera Cluster differs from Amazon Aurora RDS for MySQL.

What are things you must consider before using Galera Cluster Streaming Replication ? 

In Streaming Replication, the node breaks the transaction into fragments, then certifies and replicates them on the slaves while the transaction is still in progress. Once certified, the fragment can no longer be aborted by conflicting transactions. Additionally, Streaming Replication allows the node to process transaction write-sets greater than 2Gb. So, How do you decide whether go with Galera Cluster Streaming Replication or not ? We caution our customers before choosing Galera Cluster Streaming Replication considering several limitations and costs attached to it (explained below the limitations of Galera Cluster Streaming Replication in this post). Even you have decided to proceed with Galera Cluster Streaming Replication, We recommend you to enable it only for a session-level and then only on specific transactions.

Codership, the makers of Galera Cluster are proud to be sponsors at the second annual DataOps.Barcelona happening June 20-21 2019 at the World Trade Centre in Barcelona, Spain.

For an opening keynote, in the Auditorium from 9.30-10.30am see Colin Charles speak about What’s New in Galera Cluster 4. There are plenty of new features and it debuts in MariaDB Server 10.4, so expect to hear a lot about what is available. On day two, Colin will also speak about Running MySQL and MariaDB Server securely in 2019.

Our booth will have Vlad Alexandru manning it all the time, and we would love to talk to you about Galera Cluster, roadmaps, plans, as well as our support, training and consulting for Galera Cluster for MySQL as well as Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC).

Galera Cluster will also be running a raffle, so drop …

Step-by-step installation and configuration of 3 node MariaDB Galera Cluster and MariaDB MaxScale on CentOS

This blog is aimed to help anyone who is interested in setting-up 3 node MariaDB Galera Cluster with MariaDB MaxScale for building highly available / reliable, fault-tolerant and self-healing MariaDB infrastructure operations.  We have not tried to explain MariaDB Galera Cluster and MariaDB MaxScale Architecture or internals in this post. MariaDB documentation on both MariaDB Galera Cluster and MariaDB MaxScale is neat and direct , You can read the same here – https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/galera-cluster/   (MariaDB Galera Cluster) and https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-maxscale-20-setting-up-mariadb-maxscale/ …

After a short hiatus, we hope to meet and see you at Percona Live Austin 2019 (28-30 May 2019), as we have sponsored the event and have a booth in the expo hall, in addition to conducting some talks.

Our CEO and Co-Founder, Seppo Jaakola will make a presentation entitled, Galera Cluster New Features, in the Texas 5 room, on Wednesday from 11.55 a.m. to 12.45 p.m. It will be a very interesting talk as Galera Cluster 4 features have made there way into MariaDB Server 10.4. You will also hear a little about when Codership, the engineers and makers of Galera Cluster, will provide a MySQL version.

                In this blog post, I am going to explain an interesting issue which I faced in one of our client project . Few weeks back , I got an requirement from our support client to construct a new MariaDB Galera Cluster ( 10.2.21 ) and an async slave with GTID. The Complete requirement is as below.

• Need to construct the Galera cluster with 37 GB of data ( Using a given MySQL dump file )
• Have to configure an asynchronous slave under the 3 node Galera cluster
• The asynchronous slave was proposed with GTID to ease master node switchover.

So, as per the requirement the architecture will be,

How to achieve this ?

MariaDB OpenWorks happened February 25 – 27, 2019 in New York City. It was filled with plenty of activity.

The keynote by Michael Howard, C.E.O. of MariaDB, is an interesting watch, one with many quoted articles especially around “strip-mining open-source technologies and companies,” and “abusing the license and privilege, and not giving back to the community.” Many articles were written about this topic, and it’s clear that open-source has arrived considering all of the success around the IBM acquisition of Red Hat, the Elastic I.P.O., the Microsoft acquisition of GitHub, the SalesForce acquisition fo MuleSoft and the MongoDB I.P.O.
