Percona Live Amsterdam is just finished… there was an entire room full day about MySQL 8.0 which is wonderful but there was also another product that everybody was talking about: ProxySQL (great job René).

Ronald Bradford and the MySQL engineering team were discussing about what tool was missing in the MySQL ecosystem and Mark Leith highlighted that a datamasking utility was really missing.

Having used already ProxySQL for Group Replication and other tests, I knew that it would be possible to use it also for this purpose. After a very short discussion and a nightly chat with …

With Oracle Open World behind us, we are now getting ready for the next big event, i.e. the European edition of PerconaLive. I am going to be a presenter three times:

• MySQL operations in Docker is a three-hour tutorial, and it will be an expansion of the talk by the same title presented at OOW. Attendees who want to play along can do it, by coming prepared with Docker 1.11 or later and the following images already pulled (images with [+] are mandatory, while [-] are optional):

MySQL is a growing presence at Oracle Open World. While most of the headlines belong to the main products, where Oracle services are aiming at world domination, MySQL shared the spotlight, as it was announced to be part of Oracle database cloud. It seems a logical move for Oracle: after all the effort to make MySQL 5.7 the biggest release ever, it stands to reason that it is offered as a competitive feature in its own database as a service.

With this offer, Oracle is applying enterprise pricing and methodologies to a target of emerging companies. MySQL in the Oracle cloud differs from the competition by a few key points:

• It's only MySQL 5.7. While this is the most advanced MySQL server …

Last time I went to LaraconEU as in 2014 as speaker in the community track, it was my first international event ever speaking in english and I had jitters from it.

A lot a friends were made and it was nice to see all of them again this year.

What I also like about LaraconEU it is a Laravel conference that doesn’t talk always about Laravel, being a bit less insular than one would imagine.

Shawn McCool and his team made a great job this year and I was very honoured this year to be in the Track #1 (Blue Track).

The first round of applauses when I was introducing myself and saying this was my second Laracon made very much emotional and triggered something on my mind:

These people are there to soak in the knowledge you have to share, so give your best, and I confess I tried exactly that.

The venue was amazing, I don’t have a single complaint to …

It is soon time for the annual Oracle OpenWorld conference in San Francisco. This year it takes place from 18 to 22 September.
