The MySQL Diaspora

MySQL was acquired by Sun Microsystems 11 years ago, and it would be 10 years this April that Oracle acquired Sun becoming the new steward of MySQL. In parallel a number of distributions based on the original MySQL have emerged, including MariaDB and Percona. Many web-scale companies and cloud providers such as Facebook and Google have also become maintainers or contributors in this ecosystem. Join us as we dive into the thriving MySQL diaspora and learn how these open source communities compete and collaborate on the open source database database that powers the modern web.
