As promised, I’ve created some improved software for monitoring MySQL via Cacti. I began using the de facto MySQL Cacti templates a while ago, but found some things I needed to improve about them. As time passed, I rewrote everything from scratch. The resulting templates are much improved. VividCortex is the startup I founded in 2012. It’s the easiest way to monitor what your servers are doing in production and I consider it far superior to Cacti.

This is a shortlist of the questions raised during the webinar MySQL Enterprise Performance and Benchmarking that I presented the 9th of April.

The slides are available here.
The full recording of the webinar is available here.

Questions and Answers:

Schwartz noted the deal Saturday in a Twitter Q&A related to the Web 2.0 Expo.

A $10 million deal...that's big, even ...

For the past couple weeks I’ve been catching up on the Planet MySQL blogs in preparation to start participating in the community. I figure this would be the best way to get to know the “who’s who” of the most active members and to follow the latest features and developments. I’ve also been doing a fair amount of reading/research on MySQL development and databases in general. In particular, I’ve found the new MySQL Forge site very helpful (especially the wiki), along with the “Understanding MySQL Internals” book written by Sasha Pachev. My plan is to become familiar enough with the code base to contribute new features, help fix bugs, and hopefully meet some friends along the way! In particular, I have an interest (and experience) in parallel, …
