MySQL 8.0 performance and ReadWrite workloads scalability
Posted on October 30, 2017, Level advanced Resource Length long
Dimitri Kravtchuk (MySQL Performance Architect, Oracle) - published blog post on new MySQL 8.0 performance. He writes about how their Read-Only scalability was a big pain, as Read-Only (RO) workloads were often slower than Read-Write (sounds very odd: "add Writes to your Reads to go faster", but this was our reality ;-)) -- and things were largely improved since MySQL 5.7 where we broke 1M queries per second (QPS) barrier and reached 1.6M QPS for the first time. However, improving Writes or mixed Read+Writes (RW) workloads is a much more complex story.
