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.

MongoDB as a job queue

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

Can anyone compare the Lucene and sphinx performance?

Used Sphinx for search in past

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