Shashank Sahni, Cisco, Software Engineering Technical Leader

At Cisco ThousandEyes, we gained valuable insights by breaking down a critical, decade-old MySQL monolith from our early startup days. After attending this session, we hope attendees will leave with the following key takeaways:
- Practical tactics for decomposing a critical MySQL monolith into domain-specific clusters using automation and ensuring minimal downtime.
- Mental models and lessons for project-managing large-scale, cross-team projects with complex interdependencies and a dynamic landscape.
- Strategies for safely splitting cross-domain SQL transactions in yet another critical monolith webapp and implementing platform improvements to identify hidden issues.
- An understanding of and ability to adopt a scalable MySQL schema management strategy.
