I flirted with MariaDB Galera Cluster.  This was on Amazon EC2.  Frequently mariadb would just go down, not the server mind you.  Frequently the whole cluster would go down as well.  To bring it back up, I&#x27;d have to bootstrap the whole cluster.<p>Essentially, what a pain in the backside to use.<p>This did not fill me with confidence and thankfully did not go into production and later on went with Postgres&#x2F;CitusDB.<p>The difference is day and night!
