MySQL Ecosystem Showcase
Explore tools and projects built with, for, or on MySQL.
Inspired by Shlomi Noach's Awesome MySQL and the askdba fork.
Galera Cluster
MariaDB Corporation / Galera project
A synchronous, multi-primary clustering technology for MySQL-compatible databases. It is designed for high availability and supports multi-node replication with strong consistency characteristics.
Jetpants
Tumblr
An automation framework created at Tumblr for managing large range-sharded MySQL clusters. It is historically important for large-scale sharding operations but is not a leading modern option today.
Kingbus
flike
A distributed MySQL binlog storage system built using the Raft consensus algorithm. It is an interesting architecture for durable, coordinated binlog storage but is less mainstream than current replication platforms.
mha4mysql-manager
Yoshinori Matsunobu
The management component of the MHA high-availability framework. It orchestrated MySQL failover and replica promotion, but should now be treated as legacy infrastructure.
mha4mysql-node
Yoshinori Matsunobu
The node component of MySQL Master High Availability Manager. MHA was historically important for automated MySQL failover, but the project is now considered unmaintained.
MySQL Proxy
Oracle / MySQL Team
A historical middleware proxy that could monitor, analyze, or transform MySQL client/server communication. It is explicitly deprecated and should not be considered for new architectures.
MySQL Router
Oracle / MySQL Team
A lightweight middleware component for transparent routing between applications and MySQL servers. It is a core part of the modern MySQL InnoDB Cluster architecture and current MySQL high-availability deployments.
mysql-ripple
A replication middleman server developed at Google that could sit between MySQL replication source and replica servers. The repository is archived and the project is primarily of historical interest.
Orchestrator
Shlomi Noach
A MySQL replication topology manager and failover/orchestration system that became one of the best-known tools for automated MySQL topology management. The repository was archived by its owner in February 2025, so it is now historical rather than an actively maintained choice.
Percona Replication Manager
Percona
A replication manager agent that integrates MySQL asynchronous replication with Pacemaker. It supports GTID and file-position replication and geographically distributed cluster scenarios.
