RailsLab: Scaling Your Database – Part 2

In the first Scaling your Database screencast we learned how to scale our database if our website is read heavy, but how do we scale if our website is write heavy? Also, if you’re running MySQL do you know which database engine your website is using? and why? If you want the answers to these questions, or you just want to learn more about database scaling, it’s time to watch the 18th episode of the Scaling Rails screencast series.
