Over the past few days we have been working with a number of customers on the best way to handle Triggers within their MySQL environment when combined with Tungsten Replicator. This new blog dives head first into the minefield of Triggers and Replication.

This is the first in a series of use case blogs. It discusses the concept of ‘Geo-scale MySQL’ - or how to build a global, multi-region MySQL cloud back-end capable of serving hundreds of user accounts.

The Slow Software Movement is spreading with SaaS companies going global...and their software is the furthest from “slow.” In this blog, a Customer Success Manager at Continuent writes about some observations in her five years of listening to customers and prospects.

When it comes to that little piece of software with a $0 price tag, just take a moment and ask yourself if it really is going to be free.  Yes, there are many perfectly valid use cases for using OSS software, but ensure you fully understand the risks and potential business imapact from an outage first.

Watch the replay of a webinar with our colleagues from Datavail and hosted by DBTA during which we discuss whether “free” is really good enough for business-critical MySQL database environments.

Real time database replication is a must for clustering and other key business purposes, like reporting. There are a number of replication technologies available for MySQL, and some are even bundled into various solutions. When choosing a replication methodology, it is paramount to understand just how the data moves from source to target. In this blog post, we will examine how asynchronous, synchronous, and "semi-synchronous" replication behave when used for clustering. Also, we will explore how replication affects database performance and data availability.
