This, please! I am in the process of trying to set this up and it seems unnecessarily long and complicated. Manually configuring the master and replicas, generating ssl certs etc. Would be amazing to have a quick option to set a database as a master and then select the replica servers for replication and have it magically work.

This could be a big win for Ploi. All of the current managed database options are super expensive for the hardware offered, this could position Ploi as an alternative to a fully managed database, and/or allow Ploi customers to more easily offer their own managed database options.

This would be a really helpful feature. I hope ploi gets it soon :)

Any idea on a timescale for this?

I assume you're looking at using Galera?

How valid is this item to this day? Is this still wanted? Let me know! (And if you have a use-case let me know as well!)

If you run a serious business I think you want a managed db cluster covering your needs. So I think you do not want some kind of "unmanaged" solution via Ploi.

For testing and development I can imagine we could use it.

I see a couple of use cases in my situation

• to have a hot swappable recovery instance of the DB
• in case of a master-master replica: to easily scale up an instance, while the other one keeps functioning
• to easily scale up the performance of the db by adding clients
• to have db instances in mulitple regions, to have a db instance nearby the code server
