Documentation for Jira with MySQL Galera backends

Question

We have found specific documentation on Jira setup for MySQL, but not specifically using a Galera backend for Business Continuity.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on what additional flags need to be set for in doing so? Right now we are seeing reads are ok. But writes are painfully slow.

Hi Joel,

welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Please be noted that development is not tested specifically against clustered DB environments - the responsibility to run them good would be in your hands with those words.
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-21690

There is an article however available on the internet which describes use of Galera Cluster:
https://severalnines.com/blog/cluster-atlassian-apps-jira-confluence-stash-mysql-galera-cluster

Please also note on this that this is just a howto, you would have to consider if you can re-use parts of it at all.

Cheers,
Daniel
