With MySQL environments, horizontal scaling, load balancing, caching and firewalling are all achievable but require constant and ongoing modifications to applications. With the forced 1:1 connection relationship between app servers and MySQL servers, making changes to database architecture (e.g., multi-master or sharding) requires manipulating many moving parts and can involve many people across the organization (e.g., developers, architects, Operations, DBAs, etc.). In addition, there is a severe lack of real-time instrumentation and real-time Analytics for all SQL queries flowing between the application servers and MySQL database servers, which makes troubleshooting a cumbersome and timely process.
In this talk, you will learn how ScaleArc has developed transparent MySQL Server infrastructure software that achieves instant horizontal scaling, clustering and load balancing, connection multiplexing and connection pooling, transparent query-level caching, wire-speed filtering and higher availability?without requiring any changes or modifications to applications or MySQL databases at any point in time. In addition, ScaleArc provides real-time tools and Analytics to quickly troubleshoot problem queries, and then allows the user to take action to fix them. A live demo will
be provided, and customer case studies will be discussed.
------------- Logistics -------------
Via public transit, the closest transit stop is Broadway (0.7 miles, or take the #47 bus towards Central Square and get off at the Albany & Randolph street stop). You can also take the SL5 (Silver Line 5) to Washington Street at Union Park, which will get you very close (0.1 miles away).
On-street parking is plentiful after about 6:30 pm when most of the area workers go home.
