High Availability Landscape of MySQL

Monty Taylor (Sun Microsystems - Drizzle)

A walk through of all of the different HA choices, with a focus on being very clear about the strengths and weaknesses of each choice to help people pick the right one for their situation. There isn’t one Silver Bullet that solves everyone’s problems, and we’ll convey that as well.

What we will not cover (except where we have not choice) is scale out or load balancing. That’s a bit out of scope and makes the conversation more difficult. We want pre-sales types and n00bs to be able to come out of the talk more informed.

Specific tech to look at:

Sun Microsystems - Drizzle

Monty Taylor is an Engineer for Sun. He’s currently hacking on Drizzle full time, and was the crazy guy who wrote the NDB/Bindings in the first place (why write for one language when you can have six?) Before that, he was a Senior Consultant for MySQL which took him all over the word focusing on Cluster and High Availability.

He’s a Python programmer by first choice(and yet hears the obvious joke surprisingly infrequently) but seems to be spending all of his time recently in C, C++ and Java.
