The new MySQL 5.6 server is the most capable MySQL server ever developed. There are optimizer improvements, higher transactional throughput and lower latency for complex queries, NoSQL API with memcache, partitioning improvements, performance schema, and a range of replication features.

In this talk we present the top new features and go into more depth on replication, in terms of performance, scalability, high availability and agility – whether deployed on premise or in the cloud.

MySQL 5.6 leverages DevOps methodologies, providing a compelling feature set coupled with a comprehensive array of tooling. Together they reduce administrative overhead, providing flexibility to support rapidly evolving business requirements.
