MySQL Router, a lightweight connection proxy giving applications one stable endpoint into MySQL with transparent routing and automatic failover.
Overview
MySQL Router is the official MySQL connection proxy from Oracle. It sits between applications and one or more MySQL servers, presenting a single stable endpoint and transparently routing each connection to a healthy backend, with separate read and write ports for load distribution. It is the standard connection tier for MySQL InnoDB Cluster and replica set topologies.
Why the cloudimg image
cloudimg delivers MySQL Router preconfigured on a hardened, fully patched Ubuntu 24.04 base, with a bundled MySQL server so the appliance routes live traffic the moment it boots. A unique application and administrator credential is generated on first boot with no default login, and 24/7 support is included.
Common uses
- Stable connection endpoint for applications
- MySQL InnoDB Cluster routing tier
- Read and write traffic splitting
