Auto-Scaling MySQL

Auto-Scaling MySQL technology provides the behind-the-scenes power your websites need to handle intense bursts of database activity on-demand. A suite of exclusive tools developed by (mt) constantly monitor your database for bursts in activity and automatically spring into action with on-the-fly migrations to a temporary MySQL Burst Container as needed. When the burst subsides your databases are automatically migrated back to the SmartPool.

  • Tahiti Load-Leveling Technology The constant monitoring of the Tahiti load-leveling system identifies overloaded databases within the MySQL SmartPool and prepares them for scaling.

  • Transparent Database Migration Your database is backed up and duplicated into a dedicated MySQL Burst Container invisibly as your website continues to operate.

  • Smooth Scaling After the initial duplication is complete, a friendly scaling message is displayed in place of your website as an additional sync is applied to ensure no data loss. This process usually takes less than 5 minutes.

  • Bursting Complete An email is sent notifying you that your database is now serving data from your temporary Burst Container until the high load subsides (up to 7 days).
