Using MySQL 5.1 in production for over a year


Adam Donnison

Lenz has just published an interview to Adam Donnison, Senior Web Developer in the MySQL web team. Under his watch, the site at mysql.com has been powered by MySQL 5.1 for one and half years.
In production! Talk about eating your own dog food!
In addition to the database server, Adam has spearheaded the test of Enterprise tools and the Query Analyzer. Excellent example, Adam!

Adam and I are still working out the details, but look for a webinar (likely Jan 22) where Adam will discuss migrating to 5.1 and some other technologies that make up MySQL.com's architecture, like memcached, replication, load balancing and how Query Analyzer helped boost the performance on a few queries.
