MySQL Webinars and Videos from Percona
There have been many high-level talks about how to use MySQL and DTrace together, but very little technical detail. This talk will show you how to instrument MySQL and InnoDB internals at a very deep level, using filesystem operation latency as a key example. Other topics will include tracing InnoDB’s thread concurrency code. Presented by [...]
What if you had all the data you needed to measure system performance and scalability at any tier, discover performance and stability problems before they happen, and plan for capacity by modeling the system’s behavior at greater load than you currently have? Now it is as easy as running tcpdump and processing the result with [...]

A relational database used to be the answer for almost every project that required data storage. A few years ago, that changed. The increased visibility and features in NoSQL solutions have driven many companies to think about, test, and implement some form of NoSQL technology in their stacks. Even MySQL itself offers NoSQL interfaces to [...]
ideeli is one of the first companies to build a large-scale Web application on the Ruby on Rails platform, and pioneered many scaling techniques that are now common practice. The application handles an unusual and demanding load pattern, with large and sudden spikes in traffic. And it is hosted entirely in the AWS cloud hosting [...]
Harrison discusses how Facebook uses MySQL now, what challenges face the world’s largest MySQL user, how they’ve solved many of them, and what remains. Facebook’s MySQL deployment is notable not only for its size, but also for how openly Facebook shares the details about their deployment. Don’t miss this talk. Presented by Harrison Fisk (Facebook) [...]
Have you been unhappy with the high-availability solutions for MySQL that are based on replication? At Percona, we have seen a number of problems with existing tools. Some people discussed using Heartbeat and Pacemaker instead, but the implementations were not suitable for the problems they tried to solve. Yves recently had an insight into a [...]
A look at the state of current database architectures and trends through a historical perspective. The talk explores why NoSQL is not the answer to our current problems, and outlines why we should not throw away decades of relational database research and development. Presented by Paul Mikesell (Clustrix) • Sergei Tsarev (Clustrix) • Dmitri Mikhailov [...]
Peter Zaitsev, founder and CEO of Percona, speaks about the state of the MySQL ecosystem. ;Peter managed the High Performance Group within MySQL until 2006, when he founded Percona. Peter has a Master’s Degree in Computer Science and is an expert in database kernels, computer hardware, and application scaling. Presented by Peter Zaitsev at Percona [...]
MySQL 5.5 and 5.6 include many great improvements to the database server, from the Performance Schema to multi-threaded replication. Peter goes beyond merely explaining what they are and what they do. He tells you what the new features are actually going to help you with, and help you understand when to use them and when [...]
