What is MySQL?
MySQL is one of the most popular database software options for businesses of all sizes. The software is open source, and highly customizable, so users can set up an instance that meets their needs.
While MySQL is a specific product, NoSQL is a type of database that includes a number of available products. Whether a NoSQL (nonrelational database) product or using MySQL (relational database) is right for you greatly depends on the data you are storing, queries, and flexibility.

We use MySQL in AWS as a replacement for DynamoDB. We feel MySQL is pretty simple, lightweight and is suitable for our need. It is being used by several teams in the organization. It depends on the teams themselves to decide which database is best to use. It has been great so far.
  • Simple to develop
  • Powerful enough
  • Perfromance Scaling
Pretty good but not sure about performance scaling.
  • Cheaper
It's a cheaper product

We have a team of database engineers in-house that provides in-house support for MySQL on an on-going basis.
  • Store persistent data for our product
  • Source of truth
  • Data that other team can access
  • We replaced DynamoDB with MySQL and has seen some good performance if not better for MySQL.
  • As main database. Right now we have a mix of Oracle and MySQL database.
Performance is pretty good for medium to large set of data. We haven't tried using it for super large set of data.
Yes
DynamoDB. We wanted to replace them because it's very difficult to get the query that we want to do.

MySQL is very simple to use but yet powerful.
It's also very compatible with our choise of programming language which is Java.
We might change our selection process by testing estimated sets of data that we're going to process first before we're doing anything.
  • Implemented in-house
  • Testing sets of data
1. Estimate your data size.
2. Test, test, and test.
It's pretty good. Can quickly solve issue.
One time we were evaluation dynamodb vs mysql. Oracle support helped us by giving us the benefit and the disadvantage of choosing one product over another.
  • Querying data between tables is very easy to do.
  • Maybe during the initial setup.
Usability I think it's pretty good overall.
