Load balancing between 2 servers using MySQL Router












1















I want to setup a simple master-slave MySQL replication. I also want to balance the load between the 2 servers. Can I use MySQL Router 2.1 for that purpose? As I read the official documentation, it seems that MySQL Router now only works with InnoDB cluster. I don't have a need for InnoDB cluster. I just want to load balance 2 servers. Is the Router a good way to go, or should I look elsewhere?

  • Keep in mind that all writes are handled on both servers. Do you have a lot of reads? And you need to move some of the reads to the Master?

Yes! You can have a router for basic Master-Slave Replication. But use the routing strategy as "first-available".



Though this works, you should be aware that your slave will be in read-write mode (if you allowed it to be) and all write operations performed on slave should be manually synced with master.
