The mysqlnd replication and load balancing plugin is implemented as a PHP extension.
It is written in C and operates under the hood of PHP.
During the startup of the PHP interpreter, in the module init phase of the PHP engine, it gets registered as a mysqlnd plugin to replace selected mysqlnd C methods.
At PHP runtime, it inspects queries sent from mysqlnd (PHP) to the MySQL server
If a query is recognized as read-only, it will be sent to one of the configured slave servers. Statements are considered read-only if they either start with SELECT, the SQL hint /*ms=slave*/ or a slave had been chosen for running the previous query, and the query started with the SQL hint /*ms=last_used*/. In all other cases, the query will be sent to the MySQL replication master server.

Programming culture is hurting people.
@cattsmall@cattsmall
Programming culture needs to change.

Programming tools
@cattsmall@cattsmall
Celebrate what you make.
@cattsmall@cattsmall
You already are areal programmer.
@cattsmall@cattsmall
In summary:● Focus on the project, not the tools.● Pick whatever language & framework will
make your project happen.● You can use code to create more than apps.● Celebrate what you’ve made! Don’t get stuck
on what you couldn’t make.● You already are a real programmer.
@cattsmall@cattsmall
Go out there & make cool stuff!
