MySQL Clusters as a Service<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What is a MySQL Cluster?<\/h3>\n

If you have ever wondered how you can increase the reliability and scalability of your MySQL database you might have found that one of the ways to do that is through a\u00a0MySQL Cluster<\/strong>\u00a0based on\u00a0Galera Cluster<\/strong>\u00a0technology.<\/p>\n

This technology allows you to have a complete copy of the MySQL database synchronized across many servers in one or several datacenters. This lets you achieve high database availability \u2013 which means that if\u00a01<\/code>\u00a0or more of your database servers crash then you will still have a fully operational database on another server.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that the minimum number of servers in a\u00a0MySQL Cluster<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a03<\/code>\u00a0because when one server recovers from a crash it needs to copy data from one of the remaining two servers making one of them a \u201cdonor<\/strong>\u201c. So in case of crash recovery you must have at least two online servers from which the crashed server can recover the data.<\/p>\n

Also, a\u00a0MariaDB cluster<\/a>\u00a0is essentially the same thing as MySQL cluster just based on a newer and more optimized version on MySQL.<\/p>\n

What is a MySQL Cluster and MariaDB Cluster as a Service?<\/h3>\n

MySQL Clusters<\/strong>\u00a0as a service offer you a great way to achieve both requirements at the same time.<\/p>\n

First, you get\u00a0High Database Availability<\/strong>\u00a0with a high probability of\u00a0100% Uptime<\/strong>\u00a0in case of any datacenter issues.<\/p>\n

Secondly, outsourcing the tedious tasks associated with managing a mysql cluster let you focus on your business instead of spending time on cluster management.<\/p>\n

In fact, managing a cluster on your own may require you to perform the following tasks:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Provision and setup the cluster<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 may take you a few hours of an experienced database administrator to fully setup an operational cluster.<\/li>\n
  2. Monitor the cluster<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 one of your techs must keep an eye on the cluster 24\u00d77 because many issues can happen \u2013 cluster desynchronization, server crash, disk getting full etc.<\/li>\n
  3. Optimize and resize the cluster<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 this can be a huge pain if you have a large database and you need to resize the cluster. This task needs to be handled with extra care.<\/li>\n
  4. Backups management<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 you need to backup your cluster data to avoid it being lost if your cluster fails.<\/li>\n
  5. Issue resolution<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 you need an experienced engineer who will be able to dedicate a lot of effort optimizing and solving issues with your cluster.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Instead, you can save a lot of time and money by going with a\u00a0MySQL Cluster<\/strong>\u00a0as a Service offered by\u00a0MySQLcluster.me<\/strong>\u00a0team.<\/p>\n

    So what\u2019s included into MySQL Cluster as a Service offered by MySQLcluster.me?<\/h6>\n

    Apart from high database availability with an almost guaranteed uptime of\u00a0100%<\/strong>, you get the ability to:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Resize the MySQL Cluster at any time<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 you can increase or decrease cluster resources to adjust for the spikes in your traffic (RAM, CPU, Disk).<\/li>\n
    2. Optimized Disks and Database Performance<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 disks can achieve a rate of\u00a0100,000 IOPS<\/strong>\u00a0which is crucial for database operation.<\/li>\n
    3. Datacenter Choice<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 you can decide in which datacenter you would like to host the cluster. Currently supported \u2013 Digital Ocean, Amazon AWS, RackSpace, Google Compute Engine.<\/li>\n
    4. 24\u00d77 Cluster Support<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 if anything happens to your cluster our team will always assist you and even provide you advice on your cluster architecture.<\/li>\n
    5. Cluster Backups<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 our team sets up backups for you so that your cluster is automatically backed up on a daily basis to a secure location.<\/li>\n
    6. Cluster Monitoring<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 our team sets up automatic monitoring so in case of any issue our team starts working on your cluster even if you are away from your desk.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      There are a lot of advantages of having your own\u00a0MySQL Cluster<\/strong>\u00a0but this must be done with care and experience.<\/p>\n
