This blog discusses Asynchronous versus Synchronous MySQL replication for MySQL clustering. Synchronous replication is viewed as the ‘holy grail’ of clustering. But unfortunately, when something is too good to be true, it often is. Before the Tungsten cluster solution Continuent built two synchronous replication cluster solutions (m/cluster, uni/cluster), but we abandoned those for good reasons.

What is the difference between MySQL replication and MySQL clustering? While clustering involves a layer of replication, the capabilities, benefits, and reasons for using clustering versus replication are very different. At Continuent, we offer both clustering and replication for your MySQL, MariaDB, and Percona MySQL - in the cloud, on-prem, hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud, with no application changes or downtime necessary.

In this blog post we discuss importing CSV data into a Tungsten Cluster.

In this blog post we will discuss how the managed cross-site replication streams work in a Composite Multi-Master Tungsten Cluster for MySQL, MariaDB and Percona Server.

From time to time we are asked how to check whether or not there are data discrepancies between Master/Slave nodes within a MySQL (or MariaDB) cluster that's managed with Tungsten Clustering.
