High Availability with MariaDB: Choosing the Right Approach – Clustering vs. Replication
April 23 at 10 a.m. PT and 3 p.m. CET
Building a true high availability (HA) database environment can be complex – but downtime for mission-critical applications simply is not an option. What’s the answer?
MariaDB Enterprise Platform has multiple HA architecture choices, including an asynchronous replication option using MariaDB MaxScale and a synchronous replication option using MaxScale and MariaDB Galera Cluster. Both architecture choices ensure data is stored across multiple nodes for HA. However, they differ significantly in their technical details.
In this webinar, we’ll explain your options for HA with MariaDB. You’ll learn:
The advantages of Galera's synchronous replication and built-in HA features
How to use MaxScale with a Galera setup, and its benefits
Use cases where each approach is most effective
Whether you're architecting for resilience or looking to modernize your existing database stack, this session will help you build a robust, always-on foundation – with open source at the core.
