The new role of recovery (RPO and RTO) in a continuous, highly available MySQL environment?

In this blog post, we explore how the two new Tungsten Replicator roles allow for THL transfer when not actively extracting or applying events. This new behavior provides for better control and performance under a variety of conditions.

In this short blog post, we examine the impact that setting the Tungsten cluster policy to Maintenance has on the cluster behavior, and specifically the impact on the Tungsten Connector.

Performing MySQL schema changes often requires downtime for applications. In this blog, we cover two ways we can perform MySQL schema changes without risking downtime or other MySQL data problems. In this real-life customer example, we perform a schema change to modify the column data type from varchar(20) to varchar(50) on approx. 35 tables from 3GB to 10GB in size. Two of the tables are partitioned, and one of them is about 100GB combining all partitions for that table.

Learn how and where the Connector communicates, and about the different SSL configurations possible.
