Live webinars: 

Introducing MariaDB MaxScale 2.0

Join this webinar to learn how MariaDB MaxScale 2.0 supports agile IT architectures.

MaxScale is a next-generation database proxy that goes well beyond routing, with advanced filtering, enhanced security and authentication. It is a multi-threaded, event-driven engine that has its main functionality provided by plugins loaded at runtime. With MaxScale’s innovative architecture you can update the data layer on scale-out architectures without impacting application performance.

In this webinar, we will cover:

• Data streaming. Stream transactional data in real time from MariaDB to big data stores, like Hadoop, through messaging systems, like Kafka, for real-time analytics and machine learning applications.
• Better security. Prevent security attacks like SQL injection and DDoS.
• High availability. New automatic failover and asynchronous replication minimize downtime with read mode for MariaDB/MySQL master-slave clusters.
• Scalability. Query routing improves read and write scalability.

Please register for one of our two sessions:

• 6 October, 10am CET / 9am UK
• 6 October, 10am PT

• Be sure to keep your software updated to ensure that it has the latest bug fixes, and keep in mind that all releases within the same release family are compatible with each other. For example, if you are running MariaDB Galera Cluster 10.0.21, then that means that you are using the MariaDB Galera Cluster 10.0 release family, which means that you can upgrade to the latest MariaDB Galera Cluster 10.0.X release (currently 10.0.27) for the latest bug fixes. To see what releases and bug fixes are available for each release family, check out the release notes.

• If you use wsrep_gtid_mode in MariaDB 10.1, all nodes in the cluster currently need to have the same values for server_id, wsrep_gtid_domain_id, and log_bin in order for it to work properly.

• If you use mysqldump to take backups, and you think that you might need to use these backups to restore a slave, be sure to use mysqldump’s –master-data option, so that the binary log file and position is included in the dump.

• If you ever wanted to try implementing row-level security in the database, check out these two blog posts for some ideas. However, please keep in mind that security is very application-dependent, so you may have to modify the implementation in the blog posts to suit your application’s needs.
