In this blog post, we will go over MySQL security aspects while putting ClusterControl in the mix.

In this blog post, we will discuss one of the common errors in MySQL, the reason why it happens as well as some tips on troubleshooting this.

This blog describes how clusters deployed by ClusterControl can be imported into Vitess while ClusterControl will still provide monitoring, management and automated failover

In this blog post, we are going to walk you through the deployment of a cluster of two MariaDB shards using ClusterControl. We are going to deploy a handful of MariaDB servers (for redundancy and availability) to host a partitioned table based on a range of a selected shard key.

In this blog post, we are going to show how to generate test data for a sharded or partitioned table in MySQL using Sysbench. This can be used as a playground for us to dive further into the cause-effect of table partitioning, data distribution and query routing.

We will discuss the benefits of using SELinux, provide some examples on how to use it with ClusterControl and tell you how you should go about configuring it for MySQL-based systems.

MySQL replication is easy to set up, but also easy to break! What do you do when replication stops, and will not restart? In cases where replication cannot be restarted, how do you failover to a new master? This blog post discusses some of the common replication issues in MySQL setups, and how to fix them with ClusterControl.

MySQL Replication is commonly used to run large production environments. This blog covers best practices for avoiding downtime and issues with improper setups.

This blog post is the third part of a series about indexes in MySQL where we help you understand what indexes are, what they do and how they can be used in order to push your database performance to the max. The second part of the blog post series on MySQL indexes, covered indexes and storage engines and touched upon some PRIMARY KEY considerations. The discussion also included how to match a column prefix, some FULLTEXT index considerations, B-Tree indexes with wildcards and how to use ClusterControl to monitor your queries' performance, subsequently, indexes.
