I doubt this HN post could have a more boring title. The actual article is very interesting. Basically Facebook's DB developers talk about what it takes to perform 13 million queries per second, and a lot of the useful tips they've learned along the way to make scaling simpler.
There's a full video of the talk available at http://www.livestream.com/facebookevents/video?clipId=flv_cc08bf93-7013-41e3-81c9-bfc906ef8442 http://www.livestream.com/facebookevents/video?clipId=flv_cc...

- catshirt 16y agoHow is the title boring? What could be more telling? Having "Facebook" in the title makes it clear we're going to be talking about astronomical amounts of data. "[insert any db] at Facebook" would be an interesting title in my opinion. The fact that it's MySQL makes it even more interesting, given the shift of scalability interest to MongoDB, etc.
- nphase 16y agoMaybe boring isn't the right word. Vague is probably better. "MySQL at Facebook" is a facebook page, a launchpad user, a twitter user, a O'Reilly MySQLConf talk, etc.
- kamechan 16y agonot a conspiracy theorist by any stretch, but i found it a bit humorous this came out just when oracle offered a pricing plan for mysql and, especially, innoDB.
- smackfu 16y ago"How Facebook optimizes MySQL" would be a better title.
