No data is big enough for db*N

Scroll down to continue.

Some tables have grown too big.
Your queries have slowed down.

Parallelize!!

I can't.
MySQL is mono-thread.

Setup a cluster.
Shard your data.
Query all nodes in parallel.

Wait!!.
Most queries need aggregation.
Min/max/sum/group..

Ok.
Install db*N

db*N sits in front of your nodes
and gives you the appearance of
a MySQL database.

Transparently
query your shards in parallel
and handle the aggregations.
Uses standard SQL.

Easy now.
