Google swaps out MySQL, moves to MariaDB
theregister.co.ukFrom the article:
"..It turns out that far from being a minor initiative to keep MariaDB alive, Google is actively patching and upgrading MariaDB 10.0 to be fit enough so that Google can migrate all of its thousand-plus MySQL instances onto the technology."
How does a story like this not hit the front page and have hundreds of comments?
One of the mysteries of HN and how stories do and don't make it to the top. It seems to me there is more attention to tabloid type stories lately.
