    Looks like a lot of large social media companies are open sourcing their MySQL sharding & management tools lately. This is awesome! My favorite so far is Youtube's Vitess though, since it enables writing dumb clients. The vtgate proxy forwards queries to the right shard similar to Twemproxy. http://vitess.io

    I'm surprised they didn't put a login/signup popup that blocks the entire screen.

    They say they don't use joins, so what's the advantage of using it?

    "Zen: MySQL has joined HBase as a supported backend for our graph storage engine."

    Is Zen MySQL graph storage open source? Sounds really interesting...
