MySQL Scalability and Performance

Submitted by Michael Reichner on Sat, 12/17/2011 - 10:43

Good presentation on using tcpdump, the Percona Toolkit and gnuplot to detect MySQL performance problems.

Measuring Scalability and Performance with TCP, Baron Schwartz, Percona is archived on AWS.

Much of the presentation was based on a Percona white paper Forecasting MySQL Scalability with the Universal Scalability Law

Don't expect to absorb all of this in the first viewing.
