Events

A conference for senior software engineers, architects, and technical leaders, featuring practitioner-led sessions on software architecture, distributed systems, platform engineering, and production AI. The conference runs November 16–18 at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco, followed by optional hands-on training November 19–20.

A database and technology conference bringing together developers, DBAs, and IT professionals for technical learning and community exchanges. The programme includes MySQL sessions on server health monitoring and MySQL 9.7 LTS, alongside wider database, open source, and technology topics.

It is a free, online one-day conference exploring fast analytics for MySQL and MariaDB. On November 17, 2026, speakers from Percona, Oracle, Alibaba, VillageSQL, MariaDB, and dbtrail will cover columnar engines, analytical replication, Parquet files, and the path toward HTAP.

Remember the MySQL Query Cache? It used to be one of the most recognizable performance features around. It got deprecated and eventually pulled because it couldn’t keep up on modern multicore systems.

So is query caching just a bad idea? Not really.

In this session, Marcelo Altmann looks at why the original Query Cache fell apart, why key/value caches took over instead, and how Readyset pulls ideas from both to get around a lot of their old problems. He covers:

how reads actually work in MySQL and PostgreSQL cache invalidation strategies how transparent query caches keep reads fast without breaking correctness Marcelo has close to 20 years with MySQL, has contributed code fixes to MySQL itself, and is part of the Oracle ACE program.

A joint DevOpsDays and Kubernetes Community Days conference featuring technical talks, keynotes, and practical sessions on Kubernetes, platform engineering, cloud-native infrastructure, and software delivery. Held at Super Bock Arena in Porto for developers, operations engineers, SREs, and platform teams.

A three-day Oracle user conference covering technology, applications, customer experience, and community collaboration. Join MySQL’s Ivan Ma for a session on MySQL Community releases and the release model, alongside technical sessions, networking, and discussions across the Oracle ecosystem.

A free MySQL community meetup with Matthias Crauwels on practical sharding with Vitess. The session covers sharding keys and vindexes, data placement, query patterns, and migration lessons from production environments. Join local developers and DBAs for technical discussion, questions, and networking.

Ask ten DBAs how to size innodb_buffer_pool_size and you'll get ten formulas, and none of them survive Kubernetes, where resources change with a one-line YAML edit and yesterday's carefully tuned config is today's OOMKill. Meanwhile, most MySQL clusters on Kubernetes still run near-default configurations, wasting the memory and CPU they're allocated.

In this OurSQL Foundation webinar (November 24, 2026, 10:00 AM ET / 16:00 CET), Kate Obiidykhata, General Manager for Cloud-Native Solutions at Percona, introduces Autopilot Mode in the Percona Operator for MySQL. The operator derives a full production-grade MySQL configuration (InnoDB buffer pool and redo log, session buffers, connection limits, Group Replication settings) from each cluster's actual CPU, memory and a declared workload profile, and re-tunes automatically every time resources change.

Kate covers: how tuning formulas that assumed dedicated hardware had to change for containers; how an open source configuration calculator was embedded into the operator's reconcile loop without causing restart storms; and where the boundary lies between what automation should decide and what stays in the DBA's hands.

AWS re:Invent is Amazon Web Services' flagship annual conference and one of the world's largest cloud computing events. It brings together cloud architects, developers, IT professionals, data engineers, and business leaders to explore the latest AWS technologies, AI innovations, and cloud best practices.

A hybrid conference covering CI/CD, Kubernetes, platform engineering, cloud security, and observability. Offers technical sessions, workshops, and bootcamps on automating delivery, securing infrastructure, and operating scalable applications.
