Yesquel: scalable SQL storage for Web applications

With the large amount of data web applications store nowadays the traditional SQL database systems started to cause performance issues, that lead the developers to use NoSQL databases as web storage instead.

This paper presents Yesquel which is a storage dedicated for web applications which handles SQL queries and performs almost as Redis and much better than MySQL Cluster.
