Upcoming Webinar: Scaling Web Services with MySQL Cluster (IT)

On the 9th of September at 10am CET I will present in Italian a Webinar titled: "Scaling Web Services with MySQL Cluster". You can register here.

This is a summary of the english webinar series in two parts that are now available on-demand:

• Scaling Web Services with MySQL Cluster, Part 1: An Alternative to MySQL Server & memcached
• Scaling Web Services with MySQL Cluster, Part 2: An Alternative to the Memory Storage Engine

Content

There are two common choices to power web applications: MySQL and memcached has become, and will remain, the foundation for many dynamic web services with proven deployments in some of the largest and most prolific names on the web. The MEMORY storage engine has been widely adopted by MySQL users to provide near-instant responsiveness with use cases such as caching and web session management.

However if you have web services that are update-intensive, demanding real-time responsiveness and continuous availability or if your services evolve to support more users, the scalability and availability demands can start to exceed the capabilities of these two approaches.

The MySQL Cluster datbase, which itself can be implemented as a MySQL storage engine, is a viable alternative to address increased web service demands. MySQL Cluster provides the familiarity and ease-of-use of the regular MySQL Server, while delivering significantly higher levels of write performance with less complexity, lower latency, higher levels of scalability and database functionality and 99.999% availability.

This webinar will discuss the use-cases for all three approaches, and provide an insight into how MySQL Cluster is enabling users to scale their update-intensive web services.

What's New in the MySQL Enterprise Spring 2010 Release

The MySQL Enterprise Spring 2010 Release includes key improvements designed to help you proactively optimize MySQL performance and identify potential issues before they can become costly outages or slowdowns.

Join us and learn about:

• How the MySQL Connectors can now be used to collect, aggregate and monitor MySQL query performance data
• How to quickly identify which queries are performing full table scans
• How to isolate your worst performing queries based on total execution counts, time, data returned, date/time, query content, query type, and more
• How to identify and drill down into line-level source code for specific query executions
• New LDAP authentication model
• New Read Only User
• New Auto-Closing Events
• New MySQL Support Diagnostic Reports

Wearing a Red Tie (or a T-Shirt if you prefer).

Starting from tomorrow (1st of June) I will officially become an Oracle employee. It is quite funny how many companies you can change without even applying for another job. ;-)
I've been hired by MySQL in the beginning of 2008, a few months later it has been acquired by Sun and after about a year we've been acquired again, this time by Oracle.

I personally consider this a new beginning and I join Oracle with a lot of enthusiasm. After all I'm now part of a company that has a huge set of products and technologies and it is like a playground for me.

I'm afraid I've not blogged frequently in these months, but I plan to write more and more in the future. This short post is just to wish good luck to all the Dolphins who have joined Oracle and all those who are swimming in a different ocean.

Go MySQL! Go Oracle!
