* [[WebScaleSQL]] &ndash; software branch of MySQL 5.6, and was announced on 27 March 2014 by Facebook, Google, LinkedIn and Twitter as a joint effort to provide a centralized development structure for extending MySQL with new features specific to its large-scale deployments, such as building large replicated databases running on server farms. The project's objective is to tightly follow new MySQL community releases, rather than merely be a software fork.
