Still Managing Galera Cluster by Hand? Time to Upgrade.
ClusterControl is the Galera Cluster management platform DevOps teams actually want. Built for engineers. Trusted by enterprises. Made for your infrastructure.
ClusterControl supports your Galera lifecycle end-to-end:
Deploy: Deploy new or cloned Percona or Galera Clusters instantaneously.
Observe: Monitor replication state, flow control, node health, and alerts centrally.
Restore: Backup and restore locally and in the cloud with built-in compression, encryption and PITR.
Scale: Add, clone, or remove nodes without downtime — automates donor selection and recovery.
Automate: Auto-detect failures, handle split-brains, and recover to synced multi-primary state.
Employing ClusterControl as our database management layer gives us confidence in the performance and availability of our open-source databases because of how it simplifies key operations such as failover, backups, monitoring, and alerting in our complex setup.

Top rated Docs
We have our existing Galera Cluster highly tuned and monitored. What assurance does ClusterControl give me in this sense?
There are specific dashboards on Galera WSRep statistics, flow control and load balancer metrics, and MySQL dashboards—all under the Galera main dashboard.
For our disaster recovery strategy, we are looking into replicating between two Galera clusters. Is that covered with ClusterControl?
There’s a specific option to create a replica cluster from an existing Galera cluster, either streaming or from a previous backup. That’s in addition to taking a clone.
What backup options are available for Galera Cluster?
You can take backups from any node, primary, or just let ClusterControl auto-select the node. And that can be backed up to cloud or on-premise. It also includes encryption, compression, and even network throttling.
