Description
Most teams evaluating distributed SQL start with one question: How compatible is it with what we already run? The answer is more nuanced than any compatibility matrix suggests.
This session digs into what actually happens when MySQL workloads move to distributed SQL: the queries that run identically, the assumptions that quietly break, the transaction semantics that shift, and the Raft consensus and LSM tree internals that explain why. Drawing from real-world production migrations across Europe, Daniel van Eeden uncovers the patterns that transfer cleanly, the gotchas that don’t surface until production, and the framework you need to evaluate what your workloads actually require.
