Clarification about architecture, etc

[roynasser]

Hi, this sounds like an interesting project...

I'm wondering a few things, maybe you can help...

• is this production ready? (I see its under development still, but any use in production?)
• what is the topoloy exactly? does this go together with a mysql server? how would one scale this? or is it just a "connector" on a mysql master, and then this can be served out?

Thanks!

I would say that more testing is probably needed to call this "production ready."

No load tests have been performed yet to determine memory usage (and/or leaking) or response time statistics. I have not actively implemented these on this project as I am working on a very similar, (yet unreleased) project for Postgres/MSSQL where I am performing these types of tests. I cannot give an exact timeframe for my ability to provide this testing to this package but it will be at least a couple of months.

The scaling question ties back into the lack of load testing. It should be theoretically possible to build a network of replicating MySQL servers that can be tapped but the efficiency is unknown at this point.
