In Part I , we introduced a High Availability (HA) framework for MySQL hosting and discussed various components and their functionality. Semisynchronous replication, which is natively available in MySQL, helps the HA framework to ensure data consistency and redundancy for committed transactions. Let’s discuss some of the key MySQL settings used to ensure optimal behavior for high availability and data consistency in our framework.

When deploying in production, it’s highly recommended to setup in a MongoDB replica set configuration so your data is geographically distributed for high availability. Although most MongoDB drivers try to abstract this event, developers should understand and design their applications for such behavior, as applications should expect transient network errors and retry before percolating errors up.
