You’ve seen the recent news about AWS outages; enterprises have to think about where their physical AWS data centers are and treat them as a single point of failure. As such, enterprises running business-critical and mission-critical applications are accounting for geography of public cloud resources in their business-continuity plans. Learn about a solution for continuous operations for your MySQL database that’s a step above traditional MySQL Disaster Recovery (DR).

For MySQL and MariaDB database clusters, Saas, Fintech and other organizations with mission-critical databases typically require what’s called a managed “composite” cluster, or “cluster-of-clusters.” This blog is about active/active versus active/passive composite clusters for MySQL and MariaDB database systems.

This case study blog discusses how one of our customers, a global SaaS provider for e-signature services, who used to run MySQL master/slave clusters, initially using native MySQL replication started using Tungsten Clustering; enabling them to deploy hybrid-cloud MySQL clusters for continuous operations and migration purposes, while preventing lock-in to any specific cloud vendor.

In this blog post, we explore the correct way to implement bi-directional Tungsten Replication between AWS Aurora and Tungsten Clustering for MySQL databases.
