MariaDB High Performance

Book description

Familiarize yourself with the MariaDB system and build high-performance applications

In Detail

Designing and maintaining a huge amount of data in production is not an easy task. Understanding how solutions work, what kind of differences exist between them, and how to get them working is necessary before designing a solution for production. MariaDB High Performance will help you avoid mistakes, bad designs, and wrong strategic choices.

This book will throw light on important and crucial subjects such as which hardware should be used in which situation and what the bottlenecks generally are. You will get acquainted with the latest addition to the MariaDB family, known as Spider, and you will get to know how data sharding is carried out across several MariaDB servers using Spider.

What You Will Learn

  • Set up master/slave classical replications and make them scale easily, even over WAN
  • Create a dual master replication with load balancer and cluster software
  • Shard your data using the Spider engine
  • Grow your write infrastructure by setting up a Galera Cluster
  • Make your Galera Cluster and replication work together to build complex solutions
  • Optimize your engine and identify bottlenecks
  • Compare the Galera and MySQL Cluster
  • Graph your data and tools solution
  • Build a Galera disaster recovery solution
