Looks like a new startup called Kickfire has thought of a way to improve MySQL query throughput. I know from my previous work how difficult it can be to scale MySQL. Looks like they are considering doing query processing in hardware. I wonder what Venu thinks. It is an interesting way to solve a problem some MySQL users face. However, it really is overkill for 99.9% of all MySQL users. Most of the time, looking at index optimizations, table optimizations and the like will give you a great performance boost — enough to last for the life of your application.
Interesting technology from Kickfire
