Since 2001 I have been running MySQL for a database application that runs on a private LAN. There all only a few users but the data is important to me so I have had replication with a handful of slave servers -- I also backup daily with mysqldump. I recently found out that my slaves were broken -- in that not all update quieres replicate becuase I configured them wrong using replicate-ignore-db. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55151424/update-database-table-set-name-... My master server is also pretty old and running an old version of MySQL. It is definitely time to upgrade. My question is should I try to migrate to MariaDB replication or MariaDB/Galera Cluster? How much harder is configuring and maintaining a DB cluster vs replication? Does MariaDB have any paid support option where I can hire someone to help me set up a DB cluster? Thanks, Richard
