Web-scale MySQL back in the day
I spent a few years at Facebook where I was extremely busy helping to make MySQL better at web-scale. I worked a lot with Domas. He found so many problems and I helped fix them along with a few others (the MySQL db-eng team was small). Domas made it easy to understand what was broken and there was a lot of low-hanging fruit. This slide deck is one perspective on what we did. I doubt I have the energy to go through another few years like that, but it was a great time. The timing was also right as there were many people at Oracle/MySQL pushing to make MySQL scale on modern hardware.
