An Open Letter to Oracle: Let’s Talk About MySQL’s Future percona.com/blog/an-open-l…

@jfg956 I'd agree but we come from similar backgrounds. The important thing is you have (i) enough redundancy to handle the hardware "failure" and also have good automatic failover to reduce the outage time on applications while they reconfigure to talk to a replacement. A tradeoff.

I am curious, how much do you agree with this ? > I do not need RAID on my MySQL servers (of other DB) because I have redundancy with replication and I am able to quickly failover. (with the same applying to server warranty, network bonding, ECC RAM, dual power supply, ...)

@Percona @TheRegister 8.0 to 8.4 is way easier for users, but if you manage replication yourself and use the older master/slave technology then you need to update to use the newer source/replica updated equivalents. That may lead to quite a bit of work if you're not prepared.

MySQL 8.0 support ends April 30, 2026. 𝟱𝟴% 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘁. That's six months to migrate or face security risks. The jump to 8.4 is way easier than 5.7 to 8.0 was—don't wait until the last minute! bit.ly/4pehTdz via @TheRegister

@lefred A lot of nice details of how it all works

Walkthrough the MySQL network protocol by Daniël van Eeden 🐬🦈 #mysql #fosdem

I am on the #FOSDEM #MySQL DevRoom Committee, you have until December 1st (2024) to send you talk submission. And by submitting there, you might also have the chance to talk at the fringe event Pre-FOSDEM MySQL Belgian Days ! mysqlandfriends.eu/post/fosdem-20…

Interesting post from Peter: How Can MySQL Catch Up with PostgreSQL’s Momentum? percona.com/blog/how-can-m…. Adding more hooks via the component infrastructure into MySQL might be a great way to make it more extensible.

@bytebot @lefred yes

@lefred Is that Orchestrator being used from the current branch that Percona maintains? @sjmudd

#MySQL asynchronous and (almost) synchronous (group replication) clusters architectures at booking 🐬🐬🐬

State of the Dolphin 🐬 during #MySQL Tech Tour Italia 🇮🇹 in Milano

Did you know that booking started with PostgreSQL but had to move away and migrated to #MySQL for scalability reasons ? 🐬

@lefred Great day with all the MySQL crew and talking to the attendees.

Why did Booking dot com use #MySQL and keep using it?! Simon‘s explaining it during MySQL Tech Tour Italia in Milano 🇮🇹🐬

@bytebot @lefred Patches were supplied to @ShlomiNoach's original tree and are also in Percona's repo

@yoku0825 @lefred Yes of course. Patches provided by an ex-colleague Eduardo Ortega and used actively since then.

@lefred orchestrator with group replication?

This was a disappointment. It's good to bring up the concern: In Search of Transparency at FOSDEM percona.com/blog/in-search…. Hoping to take part in 2025.

Mohammed and Martin from @bookingcom are closing day 1️⃣ of #MySQLBelgianDays2024 🐬🇧🇪 talking about hot to run MySQL on 3 different platforms !!

#MySQL's 30th anniversary next year! Preparing for this milestone at #MySQLBelgianDays2024! #MySQLCommunity

@datacharmer no mysql room so hope to see you in mysql belgium days

Getting ready for #fosdem2024 Hope to see old and recent friends there. I’ll be at the Go DevRoom on Saturday and at the Testing DevRoom on Sunday fosdem.org/2024/schedule/…

An interesting day This is me talking yesterday in a fireside chat at the Percona Open Source Database Conference in Madrid with @peppla and others. @mysql @Percona @mariadb

@morgo Morgan, MySQL 8.1 is out and 8.2 is expected very shortly. Usage of 8.1+ may not be high yet, but unless something significant changes I'd expect spirit to work on these versions too.
