Reliable clustering has ensured continuous access and has simplified high‑availability operations
The Galera Cluster feature has helped me with high availability because it is stable, requiring at least three servers to have a stable cluster. If one member of the cluster stops for any reason, the service continues working, and as you restart the server, it synchronizes everything with the other members. It is very well designed; while it is a complex feature and is documented, every improvement in this area would be helpful, and this is a suggestion for the Galera and MariaDB on CentOS developers. MariaDB on CentOS is a very good SQL database that is open source, meaning no license cost for users. There are even commercial editions that offer support, but basically, you do not need to pay any license. It is very dependable and very clear.
