Webcast : SQL Diagnostic Manager for MySQL

Replication of MySQL servers is a process that allows data from one MySQL database server, known as the source or master, to be copied to one or more MySQL database servers called replicas or slaves. This process is asynchronous by default, meaning that replicas do not need to be connected to receive updates from the source. Replication can spread read access across multiple servers for better performance, higher availability, and other purposes such as failover.

Regular replication, also known as primary-secondary replication, in MySQL involves a single primary (source) server and one or more secondary (replica) servers. The primary server writes changes to the data in a special file called the binary log, and the replicas read from this log to update their data.

Multiple-primary replication (also known as multi-primary or multi-master replication) involves multiple primary servers that can all accept write operations. This configuration allows for increased write performance and better fault tolerance, as any primary server can handle write operations if another primary server fails. However, multi-primary replication can introduce complexities in handling conflicts and maintaining consistency across all primary servers.

Many replicate in a primary-secondary fashion, and you may be using asynchronous replication or semi-synchronous replication. However for extreme high availability without the need for an automated failover framework, the best way may be to go multi-primary (multi-master) replication where all this is built in. When is it right to migrate to such a replication scenario? What does your app need to know about this? Come to this webinar to learn about that, and we’ll also discuss how to easily monitor Galera Cluster metrics using SQL Diagnostic Manager for MySQL (formerly Monyog) in the 2nd half of the webinar!
