Conference Day 2
Magic with the PHP database connector mysqlnd
Sunday 4th October 09.55 - 10.40
In this session you will learn how to leverage the mysqlnd modules for high availability and scalability. Did you know that the MySQL driver, mysqlnd, has built in functionality for load balancing and read/write splitting. This is special because it's one of the only database connectors to offer this kind of functionality. Join me to learn how to set up and test this connector to allow your application to send read queries to your MySQL Slave or send connections to your cluster in round robin fashion.
