MySQL Fabric & MySQL Utilities

MySQL Fabric and MySQL Utilities are two offerings from Oracle Corporation that support and streamline the management of MySQL environments.

MySQL Fabric is an open-source solution designed to help organizations manage multiple MySQL servers. It provides features such as automatic failover, data sharding, and scaling up or down by adding or removing MySQL servers. The system also includes a built-in web-based dashboard that displays important metrics such as server uptime and status. MySQL Fabric is compatible with MySQL Server 5.6 and above.

MySQL Utilities is a collection of command-line tools that enable database administrators to perform common management tasks. It includes tools for backup and recovery, high-availability solutions, and database administration. The utilities toolset includes functionality for monitoring a MySQL instance, inspecting replication topology, and even performing database migrations to move data between servers.

Both MySQL Fabric and MySQL Utilities are available for free use and supported by Oracle Corporation for enterprise customers who hold a support contract.

Whether you are dealing with a large-scale deployment or managing multiple instances, these solutions provide practical features that optimize workload on your environment and reduce downtime impact.
