OCTOBER 29, 2019

AWS is the #1 cloud provider for open-source database hosting, and the go-to cloud for MySQL deployments. As organizations continue to migrate to the cloud, it’s important to get in front of performance issues, such as high latency, low throughput, and replication lag with higher distances between your users and cloud infrastructure.

Predicting application performance is a difficult art, but an important one when choosing the target deployment environment. In this blog, we aim to call out some key considerations when trying to assess MySQL performance for your application. We will not concern ourselves with the raw throughput of workload.

Now that Database-as-a-service (DBaaS) is in high demand, there are multiple questions regarding AWS services that cannot always be answered easily: When should I use Aurora and when should I use RDS MySQL ? These may be performance, high availability, operational cost, management, capacity planning, scalability, security, monitoring, etc.

In fact, according to ScyllaDB’s performance benchmark report, their 99.9 percentile latency is up to 11X better than Cassandra on AWS EC2 bare metal. So this type of performance has to come at a cost, right? cost reduction compared to running Cassandra, as they can achieve this performance with only 10% of the nodes.
