10x Performance Improvements in MySQL – A Case Study

The slides for my presentation at FOSDEM 2010 are now available online at slideshare. In this presentation I describe a successful client implementation with the result of 10x performance improvements. My presentation covers monitoring, reviewing and analyzing SQL, the art of indexes, improving SQL, storage engines and caching.

The end result was a page load improvement from 700+ms load time to a a consistent 60ms.

Knowing your PERC 6/i BBU

I’ve recently become supremely disappointed in the availability of Nagios checks for RAID cards.

So I began work on check_raid (part of check_mysql_all) to provide a suite of [...]

MySQL Access Overhead

In previous articles, we examined the maximum performance of basic web static and dynamic (php) requests. In this article, we will take a look at what happens when a database access is added to a simple php page. The application code is part of the corelamp workload (see webapp/hellomysql.php).

Speaking at MySQL UC 2010

My talk on 10x performance improvements – A case study has just been approved for the 2010 MySQL Conference. This will be my 5th straight year speaking at the MySQL conferences. For those in Europe wanting a sneak peek I am also speaking at FOSDEM 2010 in Brussels on Feb 7th where I’ll be giving an abridged version.

As an independent MySQL consultant, my work generally covers performance tuning and scalability and sometimes database architecture. Often however my work involves a review of a given problem and recommendations (immediate, short and long term). I’m rarely involved in the full implementation and generally do not see the full fruits of the proposed work.

Recently however I was able to work with a client, first in resolving …
