What technologies are you running alongside MySQL?In many environments MySQL is not the only technology used to store in-process data.

Quite frequently, especially with large-scale or complicated applications, we use MySQL alongside other technologies for certain tasks of reporting, caching as well as main data-store for portions of application.

What technologies for data storage and processing do you use alongside MySQL in your environment? Please feel free to elaborate in the comments about your use case and experiences!

Varnish for caching too, but that’s a bit different

We also use Xapian which isn’t on the list – solr/lucene/sphinx dont really cut it for some of the things we do.

I’m only allowed to select up to six choices while we use more than that… Maybe that’s an indication we’re doing something wrong? 😉
Anyway, some of the additional technologies used: Disco and Vertica.
