Some startups adopted MySQL in its early days such as Facebook, Uber, Pinterest, and many more, which are now big and successful companies that prove that MySQL can run on large databases and on heavily used sites. This can help to split large data sets into smaller ones stored in multiple servers.

To make data count and to ensure cloud computing is unabated, companies and organizations must have highly available databases. A basic high availability database system provides failover (preferably automatic) from a primary database node to redundant nodes within a cluster. HA is sometimes confused with “fault tolerance.”
