Autumn is a season of MySQL-related conferences and I’m about to hit the road to speak and attend quite a few of them.
This week I’ll participate in All Things Open, a local conference for me here in Raleigh, N.C. and therefore one I do not have to travel for. All Things Open explores open source, open tech and the open web in the enterprise. I’ll be speaking on SSDs for Databases at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23 and I’ll also be participating in a book signing for the High Performance MySQL Book at 11:45 p.m. at the “Meet the Speaker” table. We are also proud to be sponsor of this show so please stop by and say “Hi” at our booth in the expo hall.
Following this show I go to Moscow, Russia to the Highload++ conference. This is wonderful show for people interested in high-performance solutions for Internet applications and I attend almost every year. It has a great lineup of speakers from leading Russian companies as well as many top International speakers covering a lot of diverse technologies. I have 3 talks at this show around Application Architecture, Using Indexes in MySQL and about SSD and Flash Storage for Databases. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with my many Russian friends at this show.
From Highload I go directly to Percona Live London 2014 (Nov. 3-4) which is the show we’re putting together – which of course means it is filled with great in-depth information about MySQL and its variants. I think this year we have a good balance of talks from MySQL users such as Facebook, Github, Booking.com, Ebay, Spil Games, IE Domain registry as well as vendors with in-depth information about products and having experiences with many customer environments – MySQL @ Oracle, HP, HGST, Percona, MariaDB, Pythian, Codership, Continuent, Tokutek, FromDual, OlinData. It looks like it is going to be a great show (though of course I’m biased) so do not forget to get registered if you have not already. (On Twitter use hashtag #PerconaLive)
The show I’m sorry to miss is the OpenStack Paris Summit. Even though it is so close to London, the additional visa logistics make it unfeasible for me to visit. There is going to be a fair amount of Perconians on the show, though. Our guys will be speaking about a MySQL and OpenStack Deep Dive as well as Percona Server Features for OpenStack and Trove Ops. We’re also exhibiting on this show so please stop by our booth and say “hi.”
Finally there is AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas Nov. 11-14. I have not submitted any talks for this one but I’ll drop in for a day to check it out. We’re also exhibiting at this show so if you’re around please stop by and stay “hi.”
This is going to be quite a busy month with a lot of events! There are actually more where we’re speaking or attending. If you’re interested about events we’re participating, there is a page on our web site to tell you just that! I also invite you to submit papers to speak at the new OpenStack Live 2015 conference April 13-14, which runs parallel to the annual Percona Live MySQL Conference and Expo 2015 April 13-16 – both at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara & The Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley.
