Overall Satisfaction with MySQL

We have deployed in house MySQL cluster for our fintech application where transaction flow is around 100 read and write transactions per minute. Cluster comprises of "Master Master and Slave" structure. Masters were used to Write and Read transactions and read only slave is usually used for data dumps. Also we have a Proxy in place to load balance between DB servers.
  • Replication between instances is very spontaneous
  • Free and easy to install.
  • DB backup and restoration is easy.
  • excellent community support.
  • Tends to be getting Slow with large databases.
  • Unhelpful error messages.
  • Replication.
  • Integration with PHP and Java apps.
  • Have free community edition make it cost efficient.
  • Most feasible RDBMS for our requirement.
We let go SQL server as We don't want to use Windows server and bare the cost of Windows licensing.
