Scaling Out MySQL - Architectures and Implementation
Central Ohio Software Symposium
Columbus · Apr 29 - May 1, 2016
About this Presentation
Whether your goals are higher concurrency, lower latency or high availability; there are proven techniques and strategies you can implement. Each requires careful consideration and comes with it's own challenges.
In this session we'll examine several architectures for running MySQL at scale and will be building each of the architectures live and hands-on.
Software Architect & Magician
Michael Carducci spent years learning to see things as they actually are; first as a magician, then as a software architect, now as both simultaneously. And somehow that’s not even the whole story.
He’s the author of Mastering Software Architecture (Apress, 2025) and is currently writing The Semantic Layer. He has spent over 25 years following interesting problems; through roles from individual contributor to CTO and back again, across industries and continents.
As a speaker, he applies the same toolkit he uses in close-up magic: attention, misdirection, timing, storytelling, and the instinct to take the long way around when that’s where the truth lives. Audiences at hundreds of conferences across four continents have described his talks as the kind that change how you think about a problem rather than just what you know about it.
He also makes YouTube videos about technology and curiosity with his wife Kate, because some ideas are too important (or too interesting!) to leave only in conference rooms.
