Clustering in eZ publish 3.8
Tuesday 13 June 2006 4:18:00 am
In eZ Publish 3.8 we have solved these caching and synchronization issues by simply storing all cache files, images and binary files in the database. Database transactions are used to ensure that all the servers in a clustered environment use the same cache files and have access to the same image and binary files. Database transactions are supported by the InnoDB storage engine under MySQL.
Database transactions provide some additional benefits:
- Canonical storage: everything is stored in the database
- Simple backups: complete data backups require simply dumping the database
- Cross-platform: simpler to migrate to other platforms
The clustering functionality is described in the eZ Publish 3.8 documentation (which will soon be available online). You can also find it in the documentation directory in the eZ Publish installation.
