Quick Answer
Tune MySQL for high write throughput: increase innodb_buffer_pool_size (reduce disk writes), set innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=2 (flush every second instead of every commit - risk 1 second of data loss), use innodb_io_capacity tuned to SSD IOPS, enable innodb_flush_method=O_DIRECT (bypass OS cache for data files), batch inserts, disable binary logging for non-replicated servers, and use fast SSDs.
Answer
Increase buffer pool size, tune redo logs, minimize secondary indexes, optimize flush frequency, use batching, and partition large tables.
