The SkySQL & MariaDB: Solutions Day for the MySQL Database (the first of its kind) took place last Friday (April 13th) in Santa Clara, and we’d like to thank everyone who attended, participated and generally helped make it the successful day that it was!
Seal for yourself what a happy day it was:
Images have been used to convey stories since the dawn of time, and though this was a 21st century technology event, we thought we’d go “old school” to illustrate this post instead of writing it! [You can also follow the full story on our Facebook page.]
It all started on Thursday evening, after the Percona Live MySQL Conference & Expo wound down, when we began to set up for the next day. Amongst other things, we had to inflate 20 smiling seals! Even with an electric pump, it was quite the chore. But so worth it!
Check out our story in pictures:
