I flirted with MariaDB Galera Cluster. This was on Amazon EC2. Frequently mariadb would just go down, not the server mind you. Frequently the whole cluster would go down as well. To bring it back up, I'd have to bootstrap the whole cluster.
Essentially, what a pain in the backside to use.
This did not fill me with confidence and thankfully did not go into production and later on went with Postgres/CitusDB.
The difference is day and night!
- ZeWaren 11y agoHas a similar experience a year ago. The only difference being that I did go into production. Man, what a mistake.
- shaftoe 11y agoWe've been using PXC, which is still Galera but a Percona variant of MySQL instead. No problems at all. I've been strongly considering MariaDB on Galera for encryption-at-rest. Is there something about MariaDB that was not working well with Galera?
- eeeeeeeeeeeee 11y agoI had similar issues, but this was a few years ago. It was not something I was comfortable deploying in any production environment because it fell apart so many times in dev. Luckily I caught these issues before it was used in production.
