Mikael Ronström
Dr. Mikael Ronström is the founder and original architect of MySQL NDB Cluster, and one of the most influential engineers in MySQL’s history. He worked at MySQL and later Oracle from 2003 to 2020, where he developed core components including MySQL Partitioning and the MySQL Thread Pool, and led the major MySQL/InnoDB scalability initiative (2008–2012) that improved OLTP performance from 4-CPU to 64-CPU systems in close collaboration with Mark Callaghan and the community.
After leaving Oracle, Dr. Ronström joined Hopsworks to create RonDB, a next-generation, high-performance distributed database building on the NDB legacy and optimized for real-time AI and low-latency workloads.
Before his work on MySQL, he was the architect of AXE VM, the virtual-machine implementation of the APZ CPU at Ericsson, used in large-scale telecom systems.
