Open-sourcing Pinterest MySQL management tools
- manmtstream 11y agoLooks like a lot of large social media companies are open sourcing their MySQL sharding & management tools lately. This is awesome! My favorite so far is Youtube's Vitess though, since it enables writing dumb clients. The vtgate proxy forwards queries to the right shard similar to Twemproxy. http://vitess.io http://vitess.io

- toomuchtodo 11y agoCan Vitess perform connection pooling? Such as aggregating connections from multiple threads locally into one connection to your master or replica?
- betimsl 11y agoI'm surprised they didn't put a login/signup popup that blocks the entire screen.
- joeblow99 11y agooh good another open sourced MySQL management tool. This usually happens right when the company decides it's not good enough and is about to move on to something else. See Netflix OSS
- rwultsch 11y ago(I am the author) I wrote most of these tools last year and a lack of good example code definitely slowed me down. Even if we drop support for these tools, at least the code now is open sourced as a reference. This was one of the primary motivations for open sourcing this code.
- jroitgrund 11y agoThey say they don't use joins, so what's the advantage of using it?
- frik 11y ago"Zen: MySQL has joined HBase as a supported backend for our graph storage engine." Is Zen MySQL graph storage open source? Sounds really interesting...
