Use Case TransferWise: MariaDB high availability
Abstract
At TransferWise, we rely on AWS RDS managed service to run most of our relational databases. However, for specific use cases, we run some clusters on EC2.
This talk will show how TransferWise implemented high availability on their MariaDB clusters running on EC2 with Envoy and Orchestrator, and decreased automatic failovers time from 1-2 minutes to 10-15 seconds.
