(kabilesh) We have been working with PMM for quite a long time, we do most of the performance analysis with PMM for most of our clients. It also provides the flexibility that we have built our own custom dashboard.

(Nuno Carvalho) Group Replication enables you to create fault-tolerant systems with redundancy by replicating the system state to a set of servers. Even if some of the servers subsequently fail, as long it is not all or a majority, the system is still available.

(Pedro Figueiredo) Up until MySQL 8.0.18, the slave executes replicated transactions without checking privileges. It does so to be able to apply everything that its upstream server (the master) tells it to. In practice this means that the slave fully trusts its master.

(Miguel Araújo) The MySQL Development Team is very happy to announce a new 8.0 Maintenance Release of InnoDB Cluster – 8.0.18.
