It seems mysql.com went down again, this is the second time to me in no more than 3 months.

MariaDB would be the right one to go, but I need to do some more tests.

I’m trying my best to use as less EC2 hosts as possible, and seems I successfully made all of my stuffs running on … one micro instance 😀 .
