There are a number of resources available to help get you up and running with MySQL Cluster so that you can start experimenting – including the quick start guides from the download page but what happens when you get further down the line and need to get the best performance from your Cluster? One useful source is the Guide to Optimizing Performance of the MySQL Cluster Database which covers how best to configure MySQL Cluster as well as what you should be doing with your application and schema to get the best performance.

Any feedback on this white paper would be greatly appreciated – whether it be a recommendation that you found gave good results, something that didn’t work or a killer tip that we missed out.
