Continuent News

Introducing our new website and its many new features and content elements: the home of Continuent - the MySQL Availability Company.

On Monday April 27th, MySQL released a much anticipated patch release 8.0.20. Along with many bug fixes and improvements, a new property was introduced - binlog-transaction-compression. During our own testing we have discovered an incompatibility with this property. Read on for more information.

Our colleague Chris Parker covers a few of the approaches he found that made the transition of working in an office to working from home easier for him (something that a lot of us experience at the moment). He also takes a look at the technical side and what we at Continuent use to conduct our day to day business and Keep the Lights on. Including a Great Bake Off!

Watch the replay of this webinar hosted by Database Trends & Technologies (DBTA) and presented by Continuent CEO Eero Teerikorpi: How to build a $10M SaaS business into a $6B Unicorn with MySQL and Continuent Tungsten.

Continuent is pleased to announce the 6.1.3 releases of its Tungsten Clustering and Tungsten Replicator software products for MySQL, MariaDB and Percona Server, which introduces compatibility with MongoDB Atlas (amongst other things).

First we went through an install of a simple three-node cluster using allotted AWS ec2 instances. We created the directories and database users and got the Tungsten Clustering software installed and up-and-running. Then we covered cluster control operations using cctrl, like switch and recover, as well as replicator techniques using trepctl. Some other items on the agenda included an overview of the latest release (which came out last week), replication stages and filters, monitoring, and various useful configurations and options. In Day 2 we learned about backups, and did a deep dive into the various Connector methods and some of their pros and cons.
