What are the Key Elements of MaxScale?

MariaDB MaxScale is an advanced database proxy for MariaDB Enterprise Server that lets you avoid downtime, provide consistent performance, stop denial-of-service-attacks and includes NoSQL and stream data integrations. Key elements of MaxScale include:

Automatic Failover

Orchestrates primary and replica databases transparently to applications with automatic promotion and connection migration in the event of a failure or outage.

Flexible database architecture options

Use MaxScale with MariaDB Server, MariaDB Server with ColumnStore for analytics or MariaDB Galera for multimaster clustering.

SQL aware load balancer

Achieve read/write splits seamlessly and achieve horizontal scalability.

Built-in memory caching

Take your query times to a whole new level.

MaxScale Capabilities

Unmatched performance with built-in high availability

MaxScale includes several high availability features such as automatic failover, transaction replay, connection migration, session restore and more. With these powerful features, application users won’t see service interruptions if an infrastructure failure happens.

Effortless and transparent read scaling

MaxScale features a Read/Write Split Router for query-based load balancing. MaxScale also includes cooperative locking, which allows you to scale up to multiple MaxScale instances and eliminate a single point of failure without causing conflict. These scalability features make your environment far more adaptable to changes, meaning developers without database experience can easily scale their environments up or down as needed.

Strengthen your database security

MaxScale includes TLS encryption and query throttling to limit the maximum query frequency of a database session. This feature prevents rogue sessions (client-side errors) and DDoS attacks.

Manage your database infrastructure from a single location

With MaxScale, admins can easily understand and change their database infrastructure. They can perform transparent topology changes, such as promoting/demoting replicas or executing a manual failover. MaxScale also enables single-click replica rebuild. MaxScale also features a robust web interface for monitoring your database configuration with dashboards, visual maps, logs, diagnostics and more.

Integrations that Fit Any Use Case

We engineered MaxScale with an extensible architecture to easily support plugins and third-party functionality. Here are a few key integrations available with MaxScale:

Converting MongoDB NoSQL

With MaxScale, you can use MariaDB Enterprise Server as the backend of an application with a MongoDB client library. This integration makes converting from NoSQL protocol commands into the equivalent SQL simple.

Caching for active transactions

To maintain consistent performance, MaxScale automatically caches active transactions, either in-memory or with shared storage such as Redis or Memcached.

Kafka streaming

MaxScale makes it simple to publish data changes to external systems with Kafka. It reads data changes in MariaDB Enterprise Server, converts them into JSON objects and then streams them to a Kafka broker.
