MySQL Track at SCaLE 19x

 SCaLE 19X – the 19th annual Southern California Linux Expo – will take place  March 3-6, 2022 in Pasadena, CA. 

SCaLE is the largest community-run open-source and free software conference in North America. It is held annually in the greater Los Angeles area.  A year might have been skipped due to Covid-19 but it looks like we will be back in person this year.  


The MySQL Track features nine talks on a variety of subjects from some of the best  known MySQL experts.  




Dave Stokes - MySQL New Features

MySQL now features quarterly releases that come with new features. So if you do not know about hash joins, replica set, dual password, or other new features then you need to be in this presentation.


Peter Zaitsev - State of MySQL Security in 2021

In this talk we will look into the state of MySQL Security in 2021.  We will cover the new security focused features available in MySQL (and MySQL Compatible variants) as well as share best practices to consider for secure MySQL deployment.


Peter Zaitsev - 18 Things To Do When You Have a MySQL Bottleneck

The presentation will be focused on dealing with an unexpected high traffic event as it is happening.


Pep Pla - Forward to the Past: Point in time recovery for MySQL

Disasters happen. Somebody runs a process that renders the data in your database unusable, inconsistent, or just deleted. Wouldn't it be great to be able to recover your database to the state just before the disaster happened?


Pep Pla -- I need some (MySQL) backup!


"If you have a hammer, all you see is nails." also known as the Law of the Instrument describes the cognitive bias that involves over-reliance on a familiar tool. To protect MySQL data, a DBA must have a toolbox full of the proper utensils. To know only one approach is not enough.


Mattias Crauwels - MySQL backup best-practices in 2022

Backups are important for your business! I will give you some best practices on how to do it properly!


Michael Marx - The Great Migration: Galera Cluster to InnoDB Cluster

InnoDB cluster has several advantages when  you need highly available data and in this presentation you will see how to convert from Galera for better performance.

Dave Stokes - MySQL Indexes

MySQL indexes can greatly speed up your queries, or doom you database to performance night mares.  Learn about the various types of indexes, how test them, and how to use them efficiently. 


Hopefully I will see you at these talks in March or at the MySQL Booth in the expo hall!
