An interesting Webcast has just popped up, on MySQL’s usage in one of the biggest databases online: Netlog.

Netlog, one of the fastest-growing Web communities in Europe, need to ensure its database infrastructure will scale to handle its traffic increase of 300% last year. The company has 40 million registered members generating more than 6 billion page views every month. Sharding is a technique used for horizontal scaling of databases that Netlog is using.

Jurriaan Persyn, Lead Web Developer at Netlog, will be presenting frontend technologies to develop and improve the features of Netlog’s social network. If you’re interested in high performance, scalability, MySQL, PHP, caching, partitioning, Sphinx, federation or Netlog – join this webinar!
