  • mysqld_exporter

    Exporter for MySQL server metrics

  • As u/mtocker said, best practice today is to use a modern metrics-based monitoring platform like Prometheus and mysqld_exporter. This does much more than just "not offline".

  • mydumper

    Official MyDumper Project

  • For SQL snapshots, I recommend mydumper. These are useful for partial restores and major version upgrades.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
