One of my favourite events run by a grassroots organisation is SCALE<\/a>, and they are now doing their 14th edition, SCALE14x<\/a>. If you\u2019re into opensource software as well as all things open, this is the place to be from January 21-24 2016. It is at a new location in Pasadena (so not quite next to LAX as it was previously), but this is due to growth \u2013 so kudos to the team.<\/p>\n

From\u00a0MariaDB Corporation you get to see Max Mether (Scaling MySQL & MariaDB<\/a>\u00a0– I\u2019m extremely interested in seeing what he has to say and will likely blog the session) and me (The MySQL Server Ecosystem in 2016<\/a>).<\/p>\n

One thing is for sure is that the topic I plan to present on will surely come under contention since I also represent a server maker \u2013 however I believe I will be extremely objective and will put up blog posts before\/after the event as well as slides, because it is clear that MySQL is now going to be 21 years old and the ecosystem has grown<\/strong>\u00a0tremendously. Let me reiterate my main thesis: MySQL server development has been at its most vibrant since the Oracle acquisition \u2013 the ecosystem is flourishing, and Oracle is doing a great job with MySQL, Percona with\u00a0Percona Server,\u00a0MariaDB Corporation\/MariaDB Foundation with\u00a0MariaDB Server, and lets not forget the wonderful work from the WebScaleSQL Consortium, Facebook\u2019s MySQL tree and even Alibaba\u2019s tree (the Twitter tree seems to be sadly not really maintained much these days, but there was innovation coming out of it in the past).<\/p>\n

There are also going to be many other great talks at the MySQL track on Friday<\/a>, from Peter Zaitsev, Dave Stokes (I\u2019m excited about the JSON support in MySQL 5.7), Ovais Tariq\/Aleksandr Kuzminsky on indexes, and Janis Griffin on query tuning. There\u2019s also an excellent PostgreSQL track and I think one of the highlights should also be the keynote from\u00a0Mark Shuttleworth<\/a>\u00a0at UbuCon on Thursday.<\/p>\n

See you at SCALE14x? Oh, before I forget,\u00a0MariaDB Corporation also has a booth, so you will get to see Rod Allen manning it and I\u2019m sure there will be giveaways of some sort.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you have any feedback about the MySQL Server ecosystem and its developments, please feel free to leave a comment here or send an email to me. Thanks!<\/p>\n
