MariaDB MaxScale
Run in Production with Confidence
MariaDB MaxScale is an essential element to any production database environment. If you are looking for enterprise high availability, scalability, security and integration services, MaxScale with MariaDB Enterprise Server is your key to success.
What are the Benefits of Using MaxScale?
MariaDB MaxScale is an advanced database proxy for MariaDB Enterprise Server that delivers:
Simplified application development
You can easily make changes to your application’s configuration without the complexities of the backend database.
Straightforward setup
MaxScale can be configured easily without additional third-party tools.
Scalability
Scaling your database environment is simple, and an advanced read/write splitter ensures minimal error.
Centralized view
Users can immediately see the state of the database environment, components and data flow from a centralized web interface.
Stronger security
Backend database topology is better secured with data masking and query throttling.
Built-in integrations
Integrates directly with MongoDB, Kafka and Redis.

Simplify app development with robust scalability
MaxScale features a Read/Write Split Router for query-based load balancing. MaxScale also includes cooperative locking, which allows you to scale up to multiple MaxScale instances and eliminate a single point of failure without causing conflict. These scalability features make your environment far more adaptable to changes, meaning developers without database experience can easily scale their environments up or down as needed.

Experience unmatched performance with built-in high availability
MaxScale includes several high availability features such as automatic failover, transaction replay, connection migration, session restore and more. With these powerful features, application users won’t see service interruptions if an infrastructure failure happens.

Strengthen your database security
MaxScale includes dynamic data masking to protect sensitive columns and query throttling to limit the maximum query frequency of a database session. This feature prevents rogue sessions (client-side errors) and DDoS attacks.

Manage your database infrastructure from a single location
With MaxScale, admins can easily understand and change their database infrastructure. They can perform transparent topology changes, such as promoting/demoting replicas or executing a manual failover. MaxScale also enables single-click replica rebuild. MaxScale also features a robust web interface for monitoring your database configuration with dashboards, visual maps, logs, diagnostics and more.

Integrations that Fit Any Use Case
We engineered MaxScale with an extensible architecture to easily support plugins and third-party functionality. Here are a few key integrations available with MaxScale:
Converting MongoDB NoSQL
With MaxScale, you can use MariaDB Enterprise Server as the backend of an application with a MongoDB client library. This integration makes converting from NoSQL protocol commands into the equivalent SQL simple.
Caching for active transactions
To maintain consistent performance, MaxScale automatically caches active transactions, either in-memory or with shared storage such as Redis or Memcached.
Kafka streaming
MaxScale makes it simple to publish data changes to external systems with Kafka. It reads data changes in MariaDB Enterprise Server, converts them into JSON objects and then streams them to a Kafka broker.
