Hey! Would you be able to elaborate on your use case and what scale you require? Are you running a read-heavy app or write-heavy?

On the other hand we have been testing the MySql Cluster offered as a template by Railway all day, but it does not seem stable, the connection is lost, this happens if you increase the size of the volume of one of the mysql or if you change region, true these are not frequent operations, but it may happen that you have to do them.

Can you link me the template you tried please?

this one
https://railway.com/template/ha-mysql
but it was just deleted.



But it is not important for us to use this, if it was also possible to have replicas on the mysql master it would already be enough.

If not, how do you scale?

Do you have any use cases of companies using MySQL without replication with high volumes of data / users? If so we might reconsider using even one machine--but I don't think that's the case.

Thanks

Is there no way to create replicas for mysql easily on railway?

Not easily. We'd love to support native easy HA/replication but we don't have it on our roadmap at the moment.

Most of our customers including larger ones all use a single instance at the moment, but they have access to higher specs (>64vCPU/>64GB RAM in some configurations and 2x that in others) as Enterprise customers.

ok, it would be great to have in the future something like pg_easy_replicate for mysql

thanks
