A company that I’ve written about on TechCrunch sent me an email requesting help with a new project they are working on. Details are below. The company is willing to pay a fee for time.
We are about to release a large scale system that is pushing a major mySQL 5 cluster (500k hits a sec) - and basically we are looking for a guru that has some experience in mySQL 5 clustering that can validate our method – I thought one of your web2.0 companies might have some experience with this that we could run some questions by! Email schoettle@gmail.com if you might have any interest in checking it out!
hard to find considering 5 is so new - there can’t be too many mysql5 cluster like this in the world
if they have trouble finding somebody they might want to step back to mysql4
500,000 hits a second? That’s 1.8B an hour. Is every known net user in the world going to hit their distributed caching website multiple times in an hour?
