Session #2 - Transparent Read/Write Splitting in MySQL 8.2 by Scott Stroz
Abstract
For large applications with a MySQL database, read operations are often distributed to read-only replicas while write operations are delegated to primary nodes. Until now, these need to be managed in the application code. With MySQL 8.2, we can now use a single endpoint for read and write operations and MySQL Router will automatically send the request to the correct node. In this session, we will discuss some of the advantages of using read/write splitting and how to configure MySQL Router to handle it without any further interaction.
