Intelligent MySQL Proxy
The most intelligent, integrated and aware MySQL proxy.
Manage application-database connections in the most optimal way using load balancing.
Keep your application online during failures.
Tungsten's intelligent MySQL database proxy helps provide continuous operations by gracefully draining connections before a failover or switch, and receiving updates in near-real-time about the status of all the replica nodes in a cluster to make intelligent decisions about where to route connections. Learn more about this in the associated blog Category: Intelligent Proxy.
The Tungsten Proxy works together with other tungsten Clustering components, but there has been demand for Tungsten Proxy to be offered as a standalone product, as it is on its own a lightweight and highly intelligent tool with unique capabilities no other MySQL database proxy can provide.
There are alternative proxies available on the market, and to help you understand what’s best for your environment and requirements, we created a guide on the topic. The guide covers what is a database proxy, what alternatives to Tungsten Proxy there are, where to deploy proxies and how many, and more advanced topics such as Keep-Alives.
