Selena and I gave a talk on the various issues of running databases “in the cloud” at the recent linux.conf.au in Ballarat. Video is up, embedded below:
I’m giving two talks tomorrow (Tuesday) at the MySQL Conference and Expo:
HailDB: A NoSQL API direct to InnoDB, 2:00pm, Ballroom D
Dropping ACID: Eating Data In A Web 2.0 Cloud World 3:05pm, Ballroom G
The HailDB talk is all about a C API to embed an InnoDB based relational database engine into your application. Awesome stuff (also nice and technical).
The second talk, “Dropping ACID: Eating Data in a Web 2.0 Cloud World” is not only a joke that only database people get, but a humorous and serious look at data integrity and reliability as promised by the current hype. This was quite well received at linux.conf.au in January. So, if you weren’t in Australia in January this year, then certainly come along and see how you go heckling an Australian.
I’m at OSCON this week. Come say hi and talk Drizzle, Rackspace, cloud, photography, vegan food or brewing.
Adrian has talked about a few of us Drizzle Hackers joining Rackspace over at the Rackspace Cloud Blog.
