I'll be speaking Tuesday night at the San Francisco MySQL Meetup. Here's the blurb from the announcement:

Jeremy Zawodny will talk about Craigslist's current use of MySQL, where it's painful, and how things are being re-architected to make the pains go away. This includes hardware changes, sphinx, redis, memcached, and some custom Perl work.

Despite not living too far away from the SF MySQL Meetup venue, I'm a little annoyed at myself for never having attended. So this will be my first time and I'm really looking forward to meeting local like-minded folks.

Thanks to Mike and Erin for recruiting me.

If you're coming and have specific things you'd like me to talk about, drop me a note in the comments or on Twitter.

Will this be recorded or your presentation made available? Sounds super interesting but won't be able to make the drive from San Diego.

Hi Jeremy,

Just wanted to thank you for giving the presentation at the MySQL meetup. It was really amazing to have someone give such a candid overview of the issues facing one of the top sites on the internet. Several of us from my office attended, and it's come up in discussion several times since.

Regards,
Tyler

There are a lot of great points here,
but I'm not sure I agree with real-time search being discarded.
I agree that it's not verey relevant,
but isn't the point of it to show what people are currently saying about a topic.
