A lot of very advance discucions on scaling relational database. Most of it I will probably never need to apply but none the less interesting. I recommand reading Careful Trading Complexity for ‘Improvements’ about the perceived trade-off of complexity for scalability and reliability. I also realy liked When To Write a Simulator wich made me realise that I was building a load balancer based on probably false assumption because instincts suck when it come to statistics.
