MySQL HeatWave

One MySQL Database service for OLTP, OLAP, and ML

#1 Open Source Database in Oracle Cloud, AWS, and Azure

Are you looking to deliver modern applications with increased security and performance at a lower cost?

MySQL HeatWave offers the world's most popular open-source database on Oracle Cloud, AWS, and Azure for a fraction of the price of other cloud providers.

  • MySQL HeatWave is safe and easy to use. With native machine-learning capabilities, it provides real-time analytics and explainable predictions.
  • It scales to thousands of cores and is 6.8x faster than Amazon Redshift at half the cost when combined with HeatWave.
  • MySQL HeatWave is all created, managed, and supported entirely by the MySQL Team.
  • It provides unrivalled performance by 5400x speeding up MySQL queries.
  • MySQL HeatWave provides a secure, cost-effective, and enterprise-grade database service to assist in the rapid development of innovative applications.

Open Source in the Enterprise

The State of Enterprise Open Source report's 2020 survey found that among developers and companies:

95% considered enterprise open source important.

86% associated open source with innovation.

77% planned to increase their usage of open source.

According to Gartner's State of the Open-Source DBMS Market Research Report, by 2022, more than 70% of new in-house applications will be built on Open Source Database Management Systems (OSDBMS), with 89% of surveyed organisations already using it.

Open-source technologies are used frequently to accelerate the deployment of applications. Projects are often underfunded or require immediate IT approval. Projects begin small and address a specific need, but many grow into critical applications over time. Success with the initial use of MySQL usually leads to more MySQL projects.

MySQL becomes a strategic part of an organisation's technology infrastructure as it consolidates and standardises on a few IT technologies.

The #1 Choice for Developers

MySQL is the most popular database among developers, according to surveys from Stack Overflow and JetBrains. With a vast ecosystem of tools and programmes that support MySQL and a large number of developers and DBAs with in-depth knowledge of MySQL, it is in a clear leadership position.

Data: Your Most Valuable Asset

The most valuable resource for your company in the modern digital world is data.

Data relates to your partners, employees, and clients. It's about your intellectual property, acquisitions, strategy, and sales numbers.

The data, which may include PII (Personally Identifiable Information), PCI (Payment Card), or PHI (Personal Health Information), may have been created by your organisation or may have been given to you.

Your data is extremely valuable to thieves, government-sponsored criminals, and nefarious insiders who will stop at nothing to get their hands on it.

Native High Availability

Increased uptime

The database system must be resilient to numerous failures, including those involving servers, networks, power, or the entire data centres, in order to achieve high availability. By using native MySQL HA technologies with automatic failover, businesses can safeguard their data and guarantee business continuity. MySQL HeatWave optimises the placement of database instances in various availability and fault domains for maximum high availability.

Zero data loss

MySQL HeatWave is based on native MySQL group replication and includes three MySQL instances provisioned and distributed across multiple physical locations. The 'primary' instance accepts database traffic, while the 'secondary' instance stands ready to take over database traffic in the event of a failure with no data loss.
