"The goto DB for non-enterprise use."

What do you like best?

It is free. It is easy to install. It is easy to use. That is MySQL in a nutshell. The new version of the administration tools is the top RDB admin tool out there in my opinion. It is very widely used for small projects leading to a very robust set of information available through user communities. If you are stating up a small project you could have a new data store set up in a matter of minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

The default settings aren't always the best or industry standard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

It is free and supported very well. The fact that is is free may be off putting, but it has been slowly catching up to the functionality of enterprise DBs. Make the decision as to whether you need enterprise strength such as Oracle or MS SQL server and if it is worth the cost, after all MySQL is feee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"mysql is fine small and medium size projects, not when you need at massive scale"

What do you like best?

its simple and easy enough to use. tooling is available, community is vibrant enough. developers are familiar enough. works well with java and other jvm related technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

the out of box configuration is not suitable for heavy usage requirements. requires a lot of tuning. dba's usually are a pain to work with and there is always a disconnect with what is required from app perspective versus db perspective. it scales enough for a medium sized project. anything with ties to multi datacenter heavy usage is not mysql's forte. Replication performance in mysql is very version dependent and seems to improve with 5.7 onwards but still not suitable for things at scale. its not until developers start modifying the core of mysql engine, that real performance gains can be realized. its also not suitable in cloud centric development scenarios Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

if wanting to stick with a relational db, look at postgres, maria db. if wanting to move to a cloud provider, look at dynamodb or amazon rds. When ready to really move on to scaling applications look at cassandra, or other key value stores supporting eventual consistency models. cassandra, redis can most likely fulfill all needs if you can adjust your applications for eventual consistency and multidc replication schemes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

simple datastore for various apps and processes. benefits include acid compliance and having not to worry about simple replication within DC and knowledge dissemination within/across teams. most dev teams are faimiliar with rdbms concepts and mysql in general. the simplicity is also its a downside for mysql since other db's like postgres are much better when it comes to free opensource db's.
