New to MariaDB MaxScale 6 is the first look at a NoSQL listener capability, which is currently available as a technical preview. Listeners are a crucial part of MaxScale as they’re used to define a port and protocol pair that accept client connections to a service.
The gist? We’ve opened up a port on MaxScale to listen for traffic that contains NoSQL data that we then store and manage in a MariaDB database. Pretty cool, right? We think so and we’re hoping you do too. In fact, we’re releasing this capability as a tech preview because it’s a work in progress, and we’re hoping the development community will help us along the path to increasing NoSQL interoperability.
