How do I make a scalable database in MySQL?

Elastically scaling your MySQL environment

  1. Increase the disk size of the MySQL replica (with shutdown)
  2. Increase the disk size of the MySQL primary (with shutdown)
  3. Increase the disk size of the MySQL replica (dynamically without shutdown)
  4. Increase the disk size of the MySQL primary (dynamically without shutdown)

Is MySQL database scalable?

MySQL Cluster is a scalable, real-time in-memory, ACID-compliant transactional database, combining 99.999% availability with the low TCO of open source.

Why is MySQL vertical scaling?

Scaling Vertically Most often, this means adding CPU and/or RAM, but can also include disk I/O capacity. Scaling vertically can be done by upgrading existing server hardware or by moving to a new server.

Which is the best way to design a scalable application?

Break things into modular areas that can run on seperate, or multiple systems. Heavy processing should be left to a seperate system. Before you start with technique you should know the application scope dead cold. What does the customer / business unit expect in terms of performance, and what are the critical areas of failure?

Which is the best site to learn scalability?

Highscalability.com in particular will point you to many good presenations, tutorials, books, and papers, and is a great place to start. All of the advice is practical, and based on experience at sites like Flickr, Twitter, and Google. BTW, scalability is not performance.

Can a system be scalable from the start?

Whatever you do you cannot design the system right from the start to be scalable for all your needs. Often once you have your system running you will find bottlenecks where you least expect them (ie: local network bandwidth). Anyway, my advice is definitely highscalability.com as well 🙂

Can a relational database scale horizontally with NoSQL?

MySQL Cluster automatically shards (partitions) tables across nodes, enabling databases to scale horizontally on low cost, commodity hardware to serve read and write-intensive workloads, accessed both from SQL and directly via NoSQL APIs. Can relational database be horizontal scaling? Will it be somehow based on NoSQL database?
