Jeremy Zawodny talks MySQL performance, tuning, tips & tricks

When all you have is MySQL, everything looks like a table.

Jeremy Zawodny (http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/) will talk about Craigslist's current use of MySQL, where it's painful, and how things are being re-architected to make the pains go away. This includes hardware changes, sphinx (http://www.sphinxsearch.com/), redis (http://code.google.com/p/redis/), memcached (http://memcached.org/), and some custom Perl work.
