What can you achieve with MySQL?

MySQL is one of the most popular databases. Its popularity is rooted in its sound architectural foundations that make it a good fit for several use cases:

Web and mobile applications

MySQL is the M in the popular LAMP architecture that powers a lot of e-commerce, content management and forum-like applications.

Data warehousing and business intelligence

MySQL is a capable relational database with good support for the SQL standard making it a good choice for running analytical queries without the need to duplicate your data.

Applications managing geospatial data

MySQL has extensive support for spatial data types and indexes making it a good choice for powering related systems.

FinOps and banking

MySQL provides the transactional ACID guarantees and the mature replication capabilities that finance systems need.

Text search use cases

MySQL also provides basic full text search capabilities allowing you to accommodate such use cases without the need for duplicating your data or compromising on its consistency.

How it works

The diagram below depicts a high level overview on the components we use. Key architecture insights:

  • We use MySQL's Group Replication in single primary mode to provide high availability for our deployments.
  • We also use MySQL Router to provide automatic and transparent failovers for the connected applications.
  • We expose two endpoints. One for read and write operations on the primary, and another one to scale reads on the replicas.
  • We can backup our deployments to any S3 compatible storage solution.
  • We provide a full monitoring and alerting solution based on Prometheus, Loki and Grafana.
