  • MaxScale Multiplexing and Caching – Part 4

    Here, Riley shifts from theory to practice with a detailed walkthrough of how to tune MaxScale for production. The author outlines key configuration parameters, how they interact under pressure, and how to balance multiplexing, pooling, and timeouts for maximum stability in diverse traffic patterns.

  • MaxScale Multiplexing and Caching – Part 2

    In this part, the author dives into the internal threading model that powers MaxScale’s efficiency. Riley explains how worker threads execute client sessions, why thread count must align with underlying CPU cores, and how proper thread configuration can dramatically improve throughput and reduce contention in high-load environments.
