Percona Server vs. Zilliz

It is a good tool to carry out tests that measure the level of effectiveness of the database and it behaves well when, at the project level, we need to process large volumes of data in a massive way. It is not an optimal solution for applications oriented to the distribution of data between different machines.

Incentivized

• Feature Rich: Percona Server for MySQL always has some additional features on top of MySQL.
• Performance improvements: Additional performance
• Integration with Native and Community tooling: It supports all native and community developed tooling for MySQL

• A distributed database offering to scale writes with native sharding. Currently we make use of sharding managed by the application to scale writes. There is the option to place ProxySQL in front of the shards, but we need a true cloud native distributed option with an easy migration path. I would not say this is negative in terms of Percona Server for MySQL, but if Percona had a distributed database offering at some stage, we would follow Percona.

Good community support.

We are using opensource so we have not used customer support.

Performance and stability sets Percona Server for MySQL apart from the rest. Percona embraces the upstream version and contributes towards the upstream version making MySQL stronger on two fronts and thus having a much larger community. Many quality contributions have been made by Percona into the base code. Percona provides great tools to support Percona Server for MySQL and this makes the monitoring and management easier

• Increased efficiency with faster querying
• Easy scalability
