What happens downstream?: Scott Mattoon's blog

In his keynote at DrupalCon Boston on March 5 Brian Aker discussed the latest approaches to six problems related to scaling up MySQL:

1. Caching
2. Partitioning
3. Replication
4. Batch Processing
5. Understanding Performance
6. Routing

I had a chance to sit down with Brian after his keynote to ask him questions about a few of these approaches.  Here is the interview:
