What are the ideal applications for MySQL Cluster?
Tables to be managed by MySQL Cluster are partitioned and distributed across separate nodes, MySQL Cluster is a multi-master database with a parallel architecture. This enables high volumes of both read AND write operations to be executed concurrently. Any updates are instantly available to all application (SQL or NDB API) nodes accessing data stored in the Data Nodes. As write loads are distributed across all of the data nodes, MySQL Cluster can deliver very high levels of write throughput and scalability for transactional workloads. In addition, MySQL Cluster can leverage many SQL nodes running in parallel, with each node handling multiple connections, thus providing support for high-concurrency transactional applications. With the above considerations in mind, the following represents a sample of applications where MySQL Cluster has been successfully deployed.
