Galera Cluster

Synchronous, multi-primary replication for MariaDB and MySQL: every server in the cluster can take writes and holds a full copy of the data, so the cluster keeps running if one of them fails.

At UW-Milwaukee I maintain the Galera cluster behind SWAPP, the university's Shared Web Application Hosting Environment, where campus units host their PHP and MariaDB applications.
