Bringing Master/Slave into the 21st Century using Tungsten Database Clustering

Tungsten is an increasingly well-known open source project that lets you build modern database clusters to protect data from loss, scale performance effectively, and provide rapid failover. In this talk we will explain the problems that Tungsten solves and then lead you step-by-step through the process of building your own cluster. We’ll start with master/slave replication as a foundation, add broadcast monitoring, insert peer-to-peer management, and finally add shiny new CAP-based SQL Routing and proxying on top. The result is a robust distributed database that is manageable as a single unit and looks as close to a single integrated database as possible without breaking any laws of nature. Come see what master/slave can do in the 21st Century!
