MySQL Cluster is a proven technology that today is successfully servicing the most performance-intensive workloads. MySQL Cluster is deployed across telecom networks and is powering mission-critical web applications.
Without trading off use of commodity hardware, transactional consistency and use of complex queries, MySQL Cluster provides:
- Web Scalability (web-scale performance on both reads and writes)
- Carrier Grade Availability (99.999%)
- Developer Agility (freedom to use SQL or NoSQL access methods)
MySQL Cluster is recommended in the situations where:
- It is crucial to reduce service downtime, because this produces a heavy impact on business
- Sharding the database to scale write performance highly impacts development of application (in MySQL Cluster the sharding is automatic and transparent to the application)
- There are real-time responses needs
- There are unpredictable scalability demands
- It is important to have data-access flexibility (SQL & NoSQL)
From a practical point of view the HOL's steps were:
- Installation of MySQL Cluster
- Start & Monitoring of MySQL Cluster
- Connecting to MySQL Cluster
