ClusterControl VS HighAvailabilityData

• Comprehensive Database Management
  ClusterControl offers an all-in-one platform for deploying, monitoring, managing, and scaling databases such as MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and more, which simplifies database administration tasks.
• Automated Backups and Recovery
  The platform provides automated backup policies and recovery processes, reducing the risk of data loss and ensuring data integrity and availability.
• Performance Monitoring and Alerts
  ClusterControl provides real-time monitoring and alerting features, helping database administrators identify performance bottlenecks and potential issues before they affect applications.
• Scalability
  It supports scaling operations both horizontally and vertically, ensuring databases can handle growing amounts of data and user load effectively.
• Security Features
  Offers various security features, including auditing and SSL support, helping to protect databases against unauthorized access and vulnerabilities.
• Ease of Use
  The user-friendly web interface and comprehensive automation features make it easy for DBAs to manage complex database environments with minimal effort.

Possible disadvantages

• Cost
  ClusterControl can be expensive for small businesses or startups, especially if they require advanced features available only in the enterprise version.
• Complexity for Basic Users
  While it offers powerful features, users with basic needs might find the extensive feature set overwhelming and more than what is necessary for their use cases.
• Limited NoSQL Support
  While ClusterControl does support some NoSQL databases like MongoDB, it is primarily designed for SQL databases, which might limit its utility for organizations that heavily rely on a wide variety of NoSQL technologies.
• Resource Intensive
  The platform may require significant system resources to operate effectively, which could be a concern for organizations with limited infrastructure capabilities.
• Dependency on a Third-Party Solution
  Relying on a third-party tool for critical database management tasks can be seen as a risk, especially if the vendor changes their support model or pricing structures.

• Deployment
  Self-hosted on your own servers (on-premise)
• Database engines
  PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB Galera, MongoDB, Valkey, Redis, ClickHouse
• Licensing
  Free forever: unlimited clusters, nodes, users and schemas
• Failover
  Automatic, also with only 2 database servers; load balancers vote on the primary
• Monitoring
  Agentless, with metrics history, alerts and slow-query analysis
• Backups
  Backups and point-in-time recovery (PITR)

• Does Drupal 9 work with Mariadb Galera cluster multi master?
