I do think it was interesting they mentioned Python. I wonder if Java would be slower or faster. In theory faster, but maybe not.

We do use multiple read and write servers and achieve that with a load balancer in front of the NDB cluster. NDB cluster can definitely give you faster read performance, but if you have a lot of writes (which we don't, compared to reads) you will suffer. Also table joins are more expensive with NDB.
