MySQL is the most popular database on the web but how do you grow from one instance on a single LAMP box to meets needs of high availability, big data, and/or 'drinking from the fire hose' without losing your sanity. This presentation covers best practices such as DRBD, read/write splitting, clustering, the new Fabric tool, and feeding Hadoop. 80% of Hadoop sites are fed from MySQL instances and it can be frustrating without guidance. MySQL's Fabric will manage sharding and provide more flexibility for your data. And using the memcached protocol to access data as a key/value pair can be up to 9 time faster than SQL (but you can still access the data concurrently with SQL). So do not get stuck without a plan for growth.
