Hardware Memory The amount of RAM to be provisioned for database servers can vary greatly depending on the size of the database and the specific requirements of the company. By caching hot datasets, indexes, and ongoing changes, InnoDB can provide faster response times and utilize disk IO in a much more optimal way. I hope this helps!
