Samsung's ARTIK IoT platform used Continuent's active/active MySQL cluster topology to manage its IoT monetization portal serving millions of worldwide devices. ARTIK chose Continuent over AWS Aurora for its availability, disaster recovery, geo-scale capabilities, and cost-effectiveness. Continuent's solution provided high availability, continuous operations across regions, and performance at a reasonable cost with 24/7 support.
Webinar Slides: AWS Aurora MySQL Replacement: Break Away From Geo-Limitations of AWS Aurora With Multi-Region Cloud Databases
- 1. The MySQL Availability Company CONTINUENT AWS Aurora MySQL Replacement Break Away From Geo-Limitations of AWS Aurora With Multi-Region Tungsten Cloud Databases Eero Teerikorpi, Founder and CEO October 14, 2020 “Smooth Sailing!”
- 2. Continuent “The MySQL Availability Company”
- 3. ARTIK Use Case – Geo-Scale MySQL Samsung ARTIK™ IoT platform delivered device-to-cloud security for companies to build, develop and manage secure, interoperable, and intelligent IoT products and services for everything from smart homes to high-tech factories. The ARTIK™ IoT platform fully integrated with the SmartThings Cloud. During this webinar, we’ll discuss how Samsung, an adopter of Continuent’s active/active MySQL cluster topology, managed its IoT monetization portal for millions of world-wide devices. Full disclosure: Samsung ARTIK has closed its operations due to lack of success.
- 4. Eero Teerikorpi 7-Time Serial Entrepreneur In the MySQL marketplace since the beginning (2002) Father of Continuent Tungsten and Godfather of Galera (XtraDB Cluster) Galera is based on Continuent’s first (synchronous) MySQL clustering solution Emic m/cluster Officer (and naturally a Gentleman) Finnish Navy Sailor Running a Tight Ship! “Smooth Sailing!”
- 5. Where Does Continuent Fit In? Continuent has witnessed the rise of Open Source and Cloud Computing since 2004. We have been at the forefront of the market need for platform-agnostic, highly-available, globally-scaling, clustered MySQL databases that are driving businesses to the cloud today. Continuent is not the biggest. Never. We are the best at what we do. Always! Geo-Scale MySQL DBaaS Cloud Computing Open Source MySQL

- 7. Question: Why Did Samsung ARTIK Choose Continuent? What do you think were the key reason(s) that Samsung ARTIK chose to replace AWS Aurora with Continuent? • Availability • Disaster Recovery • Geo-Scale • Cost • All of the Above
- 8. Why Did ARTIK Choose Continuent? All of the Above
- 10. AWS Aurora Limitations • Master is single region only • Failover disconnects application • Long failover times ( > 30 seconds) • Application must be read/write aware • All data stays in AWS • Database maintenance and schema changes will cause application outages • InnoDB engine only • Not MySQL, ‘MySQL Compatible’ • Proprietary and not open source
- 11. AWS Aurora vs Tungsten Clustering Scorecard Top prioritized use cases Continuent Clustering AWS Aurora with Read Replica Local HA Yes, automatic failover for primary and replicas Yes, 30 seconds with DNS change DR (local/ remote) Yes, local, remote and global DR are supported Failover only, takes “a few minutes,” replication breaks Load balancing Yes, automatic and transparent Supported but requires application awareness Zero downtime maintenance Enables both database, operating system and hardware changes Requires maintenance window, downtime
- 12. AWS Aurora vs Tungsten Clustering Scorecard Top prioritized use cases Continuent Clustering AWS Aurora with Read Replica Performance High, built-in load balancing and read/write splitting High performance but read/write splitting requires app awareness Transparency Yes, automatic failover for primary and replicas Automatic failover but applications disconnect Deployment Easy to deploy Easy to deploy Recovery Fast and simple, local and cross region Local recovery simple, cross region takes time
- 13. AWS Aurora vs Tungsten Clustering Scorecard Top prioritized use cases Continuent Clustering AWS Aurora with Read Replica Monitoring Full monitoring via web-based GUI Full monitoring, though enhance monitor is extra charge Geo-Scale Across regions, availability zones Only basic read replicas in AWS regions Replication To most popular high-performance NoSQL and data analytics engines Basic MySQL replication only, manual setup (5.5 or later) Support 24/7 with <5 min. initial response to urgent support tickets Basic support > 12 hours, critical support extremely expensive
- 14. Tungsten Key Benefits vs AWS Aurora AWS Aurora Continuent Tungsten Not MySQL, but MySQL 5.6/5.7-compatible Supports all MySQL versions (including MariaBD and Percona Server) Read Replicas Replicas available for auto read/write split, fast failover Distributed back-end file system Shared nothing, local filesystem, full access to local databases Cross-Region Replication within AWS Replicate to any cloud, on prem, or combination with multiple primaries Auto maintenance and interruptions Zero downtime maintenance
- 15. ARTIK Main Challenge – Geo-Scale Need for High Availability and Continuous Operations on a Global Scale Samsung is a global telco company with several thousand corporate customers and hundreds of million worldwide users. Serving an application for a geographically- distributed audience is a common need global companies.
- 16. ARTIK Challenge – Availability What Is the Key to Success for Availability? Tungsten Proxy (aka Tungsten Connector) – The Intelligent MySQL Proxy Tungsten Proxy allows client MySQL traffic to be seamlessly routed to another node during maintenance operations and failovers, providing maximum control and uptime. And naturally also Tungsten Manager and Tungsten Replicator. Manager Replicator Manager Replicator Manager Replicator monitoring&control Dataservice Replica ReplicaPrimary
- 17. ARTIK Challenge – Continuous Operations (DR) How was the Continuous Operations achieved? Active-Active Tungsten Cluster using un- managed cross-site replicators All three clusters are truly “active" Provides fast failover in the event of Data Center outage: only application servers in “other” DC need starting and connect through Applications are read/write aware by use of RW and RO connect strings, the Tungsten Proxy configured with Port Based routing Tungsten Connectors are installed on app servers MySQL HA and DR Active/Active Tungsten Clusters

- 20. ARTIK Challenge - Cost Tungsten Clustering uses an annual subscription model based on the number of database nodes. We do not charge per CPU count or instance size. Our pricing is non-linear: the price-per-node drops significantly as the quantity of nodes increases.
