The AP Relies on MySQL for Transaction-Heavy News Delivery System

Overview The AP Hosted News site is heavily trafficked, particularly on days during which a breaking news event is unfolding. For example, affiliate newspapers commonly divert more than 150,000 pages of content per day from their own Web site to AP Hosted News during an average news cycle. Because affiliate news organizations rely so heavily on AP technology and content to retain reader loyalty, the underlying database in the AP Hosted News application must offer optimal performance and the ability to scale to support 11,000 concurrent users. MySQL has given the AP new flexibility to create quick Web-enabled database applications that relate to recent events, such as a casualties database for the Iraq war.
