01 / ABOUT THIS SESSION

In this session you'll learn how to build a truly scalable, truly robust database cluster using Galera and MaxScale.

Galera Cluster for MySQL is a true Multimaster Cluster based on synchronous replication. Galera Cluster is an easy-to-use, high-availability solution, which provides high system uptime, no data loss and scalability for future growth.

MaxScale as an Application-to-Database dynamic data routing platform insulates client applications from complexities of backend database cluster to improve database availability, security and scalability. MaxScale as a Database-to-Database dynamic data routing platform simplifies interoperability across databases.

YOUR SPEAKER

Michael Carducci

SOFTWARE ARCHITECT & MAGICIAN

Michael Carducci spent years learning to see things as they actually are; first as a magician, then as a software architect, now as both simultaneously. And somehow that’s not even the whole story.

He’s the author of Mastering Software Architecture (Apress, 2025) and is currently writing The Semantic Layer (Packt, 2026). He has spent over 25 years following interesting problems; through roles from individual contributor to CTO and back again, across industries and continents.

As a speaker, he applies the same toolkit he uses in close-up magic: attention, misdirection, timing, storytelling, and the instinct to take the long way around when that’s where the truth lives. Audiences at hundreds of conferences across four continents have described his talks as the kind that change how you think about a problem rather than just what you know about it.

He also makes YouTube videos about technology and curiosity with his wife Kate, because some ideas are too important (or too interesting!) to leave only in conference rooms.
