Speaker: Grant Holly

This month I am going to be talking about my current work on sharding
large mysql databases with Vitess. My team has been on a journey
towards splitting our largest mysql databases and I want to share my
experiences and lessons learned. We are going to look at the problems
and possible solutions to scaling reads and writes in relational
databases.

Vitess is an open source project born at youtube to scale their largest
and most critical databases. It has been adopted in as a Cloud Native
Compute Foundation incubator project. With PostgreSQL on the
medium-term road map, let's take a look at what we have been able to do
with mysql.

Hi it's me Grant. I work on the database engineering team at New Relic.
I've been using Postgres in production since 9.2. I co-organize the
Postgres user group in Portland with Mark Wong.
