Wars of MySQL Cluster ( InnoDB Cluster VS Galera )
3 likes3,490 views
MySQL Clustering over InnoDB engines has grown a lot over the last decade. Galera began working with InnoDB early and then Group Replication came to the environment later, where the features are now rich and robust. This presentation offers a technical comparison of both of them.
