MySQL replication is the backbone of web scalability principles.
This tutorial tells you how to go beyond the basics, to using MySQL replication more productively, by combining existing techniques and adopting new ones.
After covering the basics, we will explore failover techniques, several performance boosting tricks, and emerging technologies that you can adopt in house and in the cloud.

Complex normalized schemas can make database systems slow and inefficient. This presentation explores a storage layer that eliminates most joins in such systems by pre-joining the data. Data in this storage layer can be accessed using an object API without the overhead of an object-relational mapping layer. It can also be accessed using standard SQL for efficient complex multi-table reporting.

Most MySQL deployments use some form of replication. Whether the reason is availability, scalability, backup, disaster recovery or archiving, understanding the performance characterization and trade-offs is critical to design and planning.
If you have always wondered when and why to choose async/semi-sync/sync MySQL replication, DRBD or other interoperable technologies, this session is for you.
