Description

The Neutron Monitor DataBase (NMDB) has been created as an EU FP7 project in 2008. Since then, NMDB has grown from 12 participating institutes with 15 stations to more than 50 stations, about half of them currently provide data in real-time. While we created NMDB for the use of Cosmic Ray researchers, the data has been quickly found by and is nowadays being used in many different fields of research. Over the years not only has the database software changed, but also the setup of the database servers. I will describe our journey from a single MySQL server via a set of distributed mirrors to a single MariaDB Galera Cluster, the problems that have been solved, the problems that have been created, and the problems that we will face in the (near) future.
