Overall Satisfaction with MySQL

We are managing software development tasks in the cloud. The unstructured data from various sources is converted to relational mysql tables that is later used in other apps. The apps usually prefer to use data in JSON format, and we have automated scripts to convert data from these mysql tables into JSON.
  • Availability on the cloud.
  • Our familiarity with relational, and SQL.
  • Availability of guides and other learning resources on the internet to work with MySQL
  • I am guessing that for larger enterprise projects, we would probably need a paid edition. Eventually the cost evaluation would help us evaluate the features.
  • We are able to test our apps with larger data sets faster when we integrate it with MySQL
  • Ease of use makes it possible for new folks to become productive faster
We are using MySQL as SaaS that is readily available to us in the cloud. In terms of ease of use, it is comparable and sometimes even easier with the available detailed user guides. I am guessing the vast presence of MySQL on the internet is because of its open source legacy.
As mentioned earlier, it is serving us well as a database on the cloud.
