How 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.

How 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.
