During my presentation at Percona Live 2019, I’ll be talking about how Riot Games, the company behind League of Legends, migrated hundreds of millions of player accounts to unlock opportunities for us to delight players. This meant moving ten geographically distributed databases into a single global database replicated into four AWS regions. I’ll talk about some of the technical decisions we made, the expected vs actual outcomes, and lessons we learned along the way.

Migrating hundreds of millions of player records without impacting a player’s ability to manage their account and log in was a daunting task. I’ll shed some light on how we managed to handle this data migration while modifying the database schema. I’ll also go into detail on the backend …

During our presentation at Percona Live 2019 Intel and its software partners will introduce the audience to the work we’re doing to enable an open-source framework, we call Cloud Native Database. This is a collaborative effort between Intel, Rockset, PlanetScale, MariaDB and Percona.

Through the presentation the audience will be introduced to a set of principles and architectural elements that define what we mean by Cloud Native Database. We will discuss Rockset’s RocksDB-Cloud library and how it works with Facebook’s MyRocks storage engine. We also will cover …

After a short hiatus, we hope to meet and see you at Percona Live Austin 2019 (28-30 May 2019), as we have sponsored the event and have a booth in the expo hall, in addition to conducting some talks.

Our CEO and Co-Founder, Seppo Jaakola will make a presentation entitled, Galera Cluster New Features, in the Texas 5 room, on Wednesday from 11.55 a.m. to 12.45 p.m. It will be a very interesting talk as Galera Cluster 4 features have made there way into MariaDB Server 10.4. You will also hear a little about when Codership, the engineers and makers of Galera Cluster, will provide a MySQL version.

If you happen to sign up for tutorials, don’t miss …

During my presentation at Percona Live 2019 I will show how using Optimizer Trace can give insight into the inner workings of the MySQL Query Optimizer. Through the presentation, the audience will both be introduced to optimizer trace, learn more about the decisions the query optimizer makes, and learn about the query execution strategies the query optimizer has at its disposal. I’ll be covering the main phases of the MySQL optimizer and its optimization strategies, including query transformations, data access strategies, the range optimizer, the join optimizer, and subquery optimization.

Who’d benefit most from the presentation?

DBAs, developers, support engineers and other people who are concerned about MySQL query performance will benefit from this presentation. Knowing the optimizer trace …

The topic I’m presenting addresses a growing and unfulfilled need: the ability to run stateful workloads in Kubernetes. Running stateless applications is now considered a solved problem. However, it’s currently not practical to put databases like MySQL in containers, give them to Kubernetes, and expect it to manage their life cycles.

Sugu Sougoumarane, CTO of Planetscale and creator of Vitess

Vitess addresses this need by providing all the necessary orchestration and safety, and it has multiple years of mileage to show for it. Storage is the last piece of the puzzle that needs to be solved in Kubernetes, and it’s exciting to see people look towards Vitess to fill this gap.

Who’d benefit most from the presentation?

Anybody that’s looking to move to Kubernetes and is wondering about what to do about their data is the perfect audience. Needless to say, vitess …

The MySQL Server High Availability landscape provides with a slew of tools to help you ensure that your databases keep humming. Such tools are Galera Cluster, however, it is worth looking at semi-synchronous replication with failover tools, and also the usual leader-follower asynchronous replication. Today more workloads are moving to the cloud, and what failover options do you get with Amazon RDS for MySQL or even Aurora? What about the newfangled group replication and InnoDB Cluster? And let us not forget that Galera Cluster has spawned branches too!

Join Codership, the developers and experts of Galera Cluster,  as we discuss where Galera Cluster fits in and how to get best out of it.

I strongly believe in the community.

Communities are the real strength of open source. Not just the theoretical ability to study, modify and share code – but the fact that other people out there are doing these things. Creating a base of knowledge and a network of relations.These can become work relationships, valuable discussions, open source tools, or even friendships.

That is why, when I heard that several people from the Percona support team will soon be in London, I badly wanted to organise an event.

Actually, there was an interesting coincidence. When I asked Sveta Smirnova if anyone from Percona lives in London, I already knew I wanted to organise an event with this new meetup group I’ve started: …

At MySQL we love opportunities to interact with our users and MySQL User Camp gives us the chance to do just that. The first MySQL User Camp of this year was held on February 13th 2019 at the Oracle Kalyani Magnum Office.…

Implementing Galera Cluster on Amazon EC2  provides several advantages for companies. Multi-master clustering comes out of the box as a default in Galera. Users can read and write from any database providing fast local writes and reads. Galera handles conflicts automatically if your application is writing to the same row. Nodes can be added and deleted on the fly if you need more capacity and elasticity. New nodes can join automatically. In the case data center downtime Galera provides disaster recovery and Galera Cluster takes care of the split brain situation too. Automated failover and recovery allow the database to continually service the application transparently.

Meet the developers and experts of Galera Cluster in Amazon re:Invent Las Vegas 26-29 November. You can find us at Venetian hotel, booth number 738.

We’ll look into how Clickhouse allows us to ingest a large amount of data and run complex analytical interactive queries at MessageBird,. We also present the business needs that brought ClickHouse to our attention and detail the journey to its deployment. We cover the problems we faced, and how we dealt with them. We talk about our current Cloud production setup and how we deployed and use it.

We are really enthusiastic to share a use case of Clickhouse, how it helped us to scale our analytics stack with the good, the bad and the ugly.

The talk could be useful to newcomers and everyone wondering if Clickhouse could be useful to them.

What we’re looking forward to…

There are many talks, but these are among the top ones we’re looking forward to in particular:
