Using and benchmarking Galera in different architectures

We will present results from benchmarking a MySQL Galera cluster under various workloads and also compare them to how other MySQL high-availability approaches perform. We will also go through the different ways you can setup Galera, some of its architectures are unique among MySQL clustering solutions.

* MySQL Galera
** Synchronous multi-master clustering, what does it mean?
** Load balancing and other options
** WAN replication
** How split brain is handled
** How split brain is handled in WAN replication

* How does it perform?
** In memory workload
** Scale-out for writes - how is it possible?
** Disk bound workload
** WAN replication
** Parallel slave threads
** Allowing slave to replicate (commit) out-of-order
