Outrun the Lions

Baron Schwartz
Las Vegas, NV, July 2008

This is a talk I gave at a Facebook developer's conference sponsored by Offerpal Media. Since many of our customers are Facebook applications I just skipped a lot of the "you might consider this or that option" and just gave direct advice based on the patterns we see with these applications. The sponsor gave all attendees copies of our book High Performance MySQL 2nd Edition, so you will see some references to that. Download »
