Industry-Specific HA Solutions
Tailored MySQL high availability implementations for specific industry requirements
Sub-Second Failover for Trading Platforms
Challenge:
High-frequency trading platforms require sub-second failover times to prevent trading losses during database failures. Any downtime can result in millions of dollars in lost revenue and regulatory compliance issues.
Solution:
Implemented MySQL InnoDB Cluster with ProxySQL load balancing to achieve sub-second automatic failover. The solution includes real-time monitoring, automated health checks, and zero data loss guarantee using synchronous replication.
Results:
- Sub-second failover times achieved
- Zero data loss during failover events
- 99.99% uptime maintained
- Regulatory compliance requirements met
RPO/RTO Planning for HIPAA Compliance
Challenge:
Healthcare systems must maintain strict HIPAA compliance while ensuring patient data availability 24/7. The organization needed a disaster recovery solution with defined RTO/RPO targets and comprehensive audit trails.
Solution:
Designed and implemented a HIPAA-compliant MySQL HA architecture with cross-region replication, automated backups, and comprehensive disaster recovery procedures. The solution includes encrypted replication, audit logging, and regular compliance testing.
Results:
- HIPAA compliance achieved and maintained
- RTO < 2 minutes, RPO < 30 seconds
- Automated disaster recovery testing
- Complete audit trail for compliance
