THE CHALLENGES
The initial database infrastructure for the customer’s platform included two MySQL servers (one master and one slave). This infrastructure was fixed and running full-time. A cold disaster recovery environment was provisioned with specifications identical to the production environment. This environment was running full-time but was not used until a manual failover was initiated. This failover process could take several hours. The customer wanted a Scalable Database setup with a quick failover.
THE SOLUTIONS
RDS allowed Nuclay to provide a standby MySQL instance in a different AZ, with automatic replication and failover protection in the event of hardware failure in the primary instance. Configuring MySQL slaves, that typically took several hours, was reduced to a few minutes. Last 30 days automatic backups were configured, also allowing point-in-time restoration to any time within the last week. This provided the best balance between data availability for disaster recovery and cost effectiveness.
THE BENEFITS
Improved Availability
RDS’ Multi-AZ Configuration dramatically improved the Database availability.
Improved Performance
Scalable Replicas dramatically reduced the overall application footprint.
Reduced Cost of Ownership
Total Cost of ownership was reduced by 40%
