The following are the advantages that we have when we perform high availability in MySQL:
- MySQL is quite reliable and has constant availability using cluster and replication configurations.
- Cluster servers instantly handle failures and manage the failover part to keep your system available almost all the time. If one server goes down, it will redirect the user's request to another node and perform the requested operation.
- An ability of the system to keep the connection persistent, in case a part of infrastructure fails, and the ability of the system to recover from such failure is considered as high availability.
- MySQL 8 also supports different approaches such as replication of data across multiple MySQL servers ...
