As a MySQL database administrator, keeping a close eye on the performance of your MySQL server is crucial to ensure optimal database operations. A monitoring tool like Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) is a popular choice among open source options for effectively monitoring MySQL performance.

In case of a spike in traffic, you can automatically spin up more resources, often in a matter of seconds. Likewise, you can scale down when your application experiences decreased traffic. For example, as traffic increases, costs will too. This can dramatically decrease network latency and its effect on the end-user experience.

There is no way to model how much more traffic you can send to that system before it exceeds it’s SLA. This is unfortunate, because we’d really like to be able to build systems that have an SLA that we can share with the consumers of our interfaces, and be able to measure how well we are doing.
