One of the core Drizzle developers and Percona's Driector of Server Development will be speaking at LinuxConfAU in Balarat, Australia on Tuesday January 17, 2012 at 4:40 PM.
"The Drizzle database had its first stable GA release at the start of 2011. Since then we have been working on a few features taht directly relate to be able to easily produce applications that can scale. 1) True mulitenancy.running a database server in a Virtual Machine is an instant way to kill performance. A VM running a database server for each user doesn't scale.Drizzle now has a concept of CATALOGs, this can give each tenant their own namespace for databases, tables and users.2) Multi-masterDrizzle has the ability to replicate from multiple masters, enabling you to pull all your shards into one database for analytics and cross-shard queries.3) ShardingThe Drizzle client library (libdrizzle - which can speak the MySQL protocol to Drizzle and MySQL servers) has new features to help with sharding, being able to connect to a shard, a read-only replica of a shard as well as supporting moving shards between machines and adding more capacity.
Stewart Smith joined Percona in 2011 as Director of Server Development with a deep background in database internals including MySQL, MySQL Cluster, Drizzle, InnoDB and HailDB.
Prior to joining Percona, Stewart worked at Rackspace on the Drizzle database server focusing on getting it through a critical milestone of a stable Generally Available (GA) release. Prior to Rackspace, he worked on Drizzle as a member of the CTO Labs group inside Sun Microsystems.
As one of the founding core developers of the Drizzle database server Stewart has deep expertise in the code base. He had direct involvement in significant refactoring of the database server including removing the FRM, the InnoDB storage engine, xtrabackup, the storage engine API, CATALOG support and countless bug fixes. He also maintains HailDB, a shared library offering a NoSQL C API directly to InnoDB.
At Sun Microsystems, and MySQL before that, Stewart was a Senior Software Engineer in the MySQL Cluster team working on core code and features inside the MySQL Server and the Cluster codebase working on projects such as: geographical asynchronous replication, online add node, online backup, NDBINFO for improved monitoring and the Win32 port.
He’s been found speaking at MySQL User Conferences, linux.conf.au, OSCON, OSDC, SAGE-AU and more."

The Gearman project will have two events at OSCON next week, both led by Data Differential CTO, Brian Aker. Gearman: From the Worker's Perspective
Location: B118-119Many people view topics like Map/Reduce and queue systems as advanced
concepts that require in-depth knowledge and time consuming software
setup. Gearman is changing all that by making this barrier to entry as
low as possible with an open source, distributed job queuing system. Gearman Birds of a Feather Session
Moderated by: Brain Aker
A get together for those excited by the Gearman project.

Stewart Smith of Percona, and one of the original Drizzle developers, will be doing an interactive talk about ACID models and protecting your data at the 2011 Open Source Convention in Portland, Oregon July 25-29. Below
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. This
is part survey, part critique of the various Atomicity, Consistency,
Isolation and Durability models available from various modern databases
and data stores used in modern Web and Cloud environments. We’ll not
just look at the single machine solution but how these systems work in a
distributed environment. We’ll cover what happens when N of your M
machines running $software goes away. Is your data still there? Do you
care? We'll examine: Drizzle, MySQL, MySQL Cluster (NDB), PostgreSQL, MongoDB, CouchDB, memcached, Cloud Storage, Cassandra, and what POSIX (doesn’t) give us with file systems |

There will be two talks from Data Differential CTO Brian Aker at the Open Source Bridge conference next week in Portland.
Many people view topics like Map/Reduce and queue systems as
advanced concepts that require in-depth knowledge and time consuming
software setup. Gearman is changing all that by making this barrier to
entry as low as possible with an open source, distributed job queuing
system.
Scheduled:

Ever wondered what would happen if you could rethink a
decade worth of design changes? Drizzle is a redesign of the MySQL
server targeted at web development and optimized for Cloud applications.

Patrick Galbraith of Blue Gecko is giving a talk May 26 at Percona Live in New York City. His talk will be at 2:15 in the Cafe Room. Building Blocks of Scaling: Using Drizzle/MySQL, Memcached, Sphinx, and Gearman
"Learn how to combine key open-source technologies to scale applications
through replication, caching, full-text search, and a work queue. This
presentation will demonstrate a real application that uses all of these
components to scale out in the cloud by breaking functionality into
smaller units of computing, which work as a single system across any
number of servers and provide the ability to easily expand." http://www.percona.com/live/nyc-2011/schedule/sessions/ |
