Chris Schneider of Facebook will present Scaling MySQL.

Chris Schneider Bio:
MySql DBA since 2004 but originally started as a LAMP developer; I started
working as a MySql DBA in the Web 2.0 world more specifically GoDaddy.com,
love the commercials. When I started at Godaddy.com there were only 127
servers with 11 different web applications all supported by MySql databases.
In my first year I supported over 400% growth as the only MySql DBA. By the
end of my 3.5 years at GoDaddy.com I hired and trained a 4 DBA team; two of
which have gone on to work at MySql AB and Facebook. After building and
watching my baby grow at Godaddy.com to over 1200 servers and 40+ supported
web apps it was time to move on.

Facebook has been a wild ride so far! One of my main goals is to make sure
that MySql at Facebook scales like a champ! Over the past 8 months I have
tested countless configurations and architectures; all of which with the
goal of scaling and performance.

This Meetup:
During this meetup session I would like to discuss different technologies
and consolidation methodologies. Some of which include Sun Niagra (t1000
and up) , file systems (xfs and zfs), innodb performance and sharding.

Location information:
1. The meeting room is called "Martinique".
2. Try to arrive on time as a Sun badged employee will need to operate elevators to get you up to the 10th floor.
3. If you do arrive late, call Joe at [masked] so we can have someone come down and escort you up.
4. There is a visitor's parking lot. Last time the parking was free but it's not positive so if you want to be sure of free parking, park in the neighborhood. Sorry for the confusion.
