8 .What is High Availability What Do you Think ? 8 © 2017 Percona 

9 .I think… Serving All the Clients Correctly all the Time 9 © 2017 Percona 

10 .Performance and High Availability Unacceptable performance can be indistinguishable from downtime 10 © 2017 Percona 

11 .High Availability is Never Perfect Can be measured in terms of “time” where system was •99.9% or “3 nines” available Can be measured in the terms of •Good to consider cases successful requests served of partial availability 11 © 2017 Percona 

12 .Is Perfect High Availability the Goal ? Booking.com has the “downtime budget” 12 © 2017 Percona 

13 .To have Good High Availability Go down Recover faster “less” 13 © 2017 Percona 

14 .Not a Database Problem Systems Problem But Database is the key component 14 © 2017 Percona 

15 .Achieving High Availability Technology Process Aspects Aspects 15 © 2017 Percona 

16 .Technology Aspects Designing and Building Highly Available System 16 © 2017 Percona 

17 .Technology Aspects Focus on Technology in this presentation, it is what MySQL Specific 17 © 2017 Percona 

18 .Process Aspects Managing System in Highly Available way 18 © 2017 Percona 

19 .Process – General Best Practices Quality Assurance for Code and Operations Practices Tables and Query Review Performance Testing Capacity Planning Clear Roll Back Process Being able to disable feature “live” “On Call” for devs and ops 19 © 2017 Percona 

20 .High Availability through Redundancy “Server” Redundancy Network Redundancy Data Center Redundancy 20 © 2017 Percona 

21 .Stateless vs Stateful for HA Stateless • Multiple instances • High Availability is easy • Need to “Maintain state in highly Stateful available fashion” • Much harder problem 21 © 2017 Percona 

22 .Database are… Stateful 22 © 2017 Percona 

23 .High Level Thoughts Lets think about database as a black box 23 © 2017 Percona 

24 .HA Concerns for Databases • What kind of guarantees do I have about my data Durability being persisted Change Visibility • How my changes are propagated and become visible ? • Which failures system is designed to handle and how it Failure Handling reacts Performance • HA is never free. How are we paying for guarantees 24 © 2017 Percona 

25 .Replication With Stateful Systems HA requires maintaining multiple copies of data 25 © 2017 Percona 

26 .Focus Focus on Database Engine level Replication as Most Common 26 © 2017 Percona 

27 .Things To Consider How Mechanics of Who and How Replication is Failover and Detects Failure Happening Recovery 27 © 2017 Percona
