MySQL – there now seem to be replication mechanisms that work
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/06/27
Reminder to self, as yet another client insisted this was possible, but in the past it wasn’t reliably possible, some links from Kristian Köhntopp:
- 2012 state – [WayBack] Some basics about distributed databases – The Isoblog.
- 2017 state – [WayBack] Galera vs. Group Replication – The Isoblog.

Easy solution? Use PostgreSQL. Or if client really needs it just move to Cassandra for example.

Often the best way to solve a problem is to avoid the problem. So I convinced them not to use replication at all (which introduces all sorts of other issues).
