Topics: Performance & Scalability, MySQL Enterprise Edition

Gumtree.com was started in March 2000 as a local online community notice board. The company has grown to cover over 70 cities across 8 countries, and is now the UK's biggest website for local community classifieds, including flat share, flat rentals and jobs - with more than 1 million live ads at any one time, and over 5.5 million visitors per month. >From the beginning, Gumtree needed a database to power its operations that would be reliable, robust and affordable - but most of all: scalable. The company chose MySQL, and has never looked back.
