This Partner Solution deploys MemSQL, a distributed, highly scalable structured query language (SQL) database, to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. It also includes MemSQL Studio, a visual user interface that is supported on Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers. This Partner Solution is for database administrators, data architects, data scientists, and data analysts.
MemSQL ingests data continuously to perform operational analytics on billions of rows of data in relational SQL, JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), geospatial, and full-text search formats. MemSQL can handle both database workloads and data warehouse workloads, meeting transactional and analytical requirements. Together, MemSQL and AWS provide a compelling platform for building real-time applications.
This Partner Solution was developed by MemSQL Inc. in collaboration with AWS. MemSQL is an AWS Partner.

What you'll build
-
Use this Partner Solution to automatically set up MemSQL on AWS. The deployment includes the following:
- A high-durability architecture in a single Availability Zone.*
- A virtual private cloud (VPC) configured with a public subnet according to AWS best practices, to provide you with your own virtual network on AWS.*
- An internet gateway to allow access to the internet. This gateway is used by hosts to send and receive traffic.*
- In the public subnet, one master aggregator node, one child aggregator node, and leaf nodes; the diagram shows four leaf nodes, the default is two, and the maximum is six.
- A network load balancer that controls access to the MemSQL cluster’s aggregator nodes.
- One attached Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume in each Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance.
* The template that deploys the Partner Solution into an existing VPC skips the components marked by asterisks and prompts you for your existing VPC configuration.

You are responsible for the cost of the AWS services and any third-party licenses used while running this solution. There is no additional cost for using the solution.
This solution includes configuration parameters that you can customize. Some of these settings, such as instance type, affect the cost of deployment. For cost estimates, refer to the pricing pages for each AWS service you use. Prices are subject to change.
Tip: After you deploy a solution, create AWS Cost and Usage Reports to track associated costs. These reports deliver billing metrics to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket in your account. They provide cost estimates based on usage throughout each month and aggregate the data at the end of the month. For more information, refer to What are AWS Cost and Usage Reports?
