AMS DB October Meetup

Two MySQL talks from people who run and steward it: where Oracle is taking MySQL's open-source development model after the 9.7 Community Edition release, and a deep dive into how the Clone plugin actually copies a live database. Hosted by the MySQL team at Oracle. Heather VanCura, Oracle's VP of External Standards and Community Engagement, opens at 18:05 on "The Path to MySQL Open Innovation". At 19:00 Matthias Crauwels of PlanetScale walks through Clone's three-stage protocol inside InnoDB, modified-page tracking, redo archiving and what the donor pays while a clone runs. Q&A and networking until 20:00. Doors 17:45. Free, at Oracle's office on Nieuwevaart 5-9. Meetup currently shows RSVPs as not open, so check before travelling. Why go: the Clone talk is the kind of practitioner reading of the internals you rarely get outside a conference, and the first talk is the MySQL roadmap from the source. For DBAs and backend engineers who provision replicas.
