Overall Satisfaction with MySQL Heatwave

For our analytics and Machine learning workloads, we need an extremely fast and reliable Database Management System and the same need is fulfilled by MySQL Heatwave. MySQL Heatwave is so fast that we don't have to move our data from MySQL RDBMS to another data warehouse system such as Databricks, which was an added workload for us. MySQL Heatwave has made our analytics work extremely efficient.
  • Orders of magnitude faster than vanilla MySQL Heatwave
  • Analytics and ML Workloads can be directly integrated
  • Available as a managed service on Oracle Cloud
  • The JDBC interface is consistent with other databases
  • On Demand Scalability
  • MySQL Autopilot abstracts away most of the configuration with regards to query tuning and optimization
  • Pricing can be a concern if not configured properly
  • Not available as a standalone or on premise offering. Only available through OCI
  • No Jobs interface like that in Databricks with Spark and Delta Lake
  • MySQL Heatwave Autopilot for automated configuration and performance tuning
  • Regular backups
  • Speed of query execution
  • Auto scaling of underlying infrastructure
  • We no longer have to write data pipelines in Spark anymore for executing ML/Analytics Workloads
  • Execution time of the analytics platforms has reduced considerably
  • Overall time to market has gone down drastically
There is no other product in the market like MySQL Heatwave. The other competitive offerings are Databricks Lakehouse and Cloudera which essentially are Data Analytics Platforms and Data Warehousing Solutions. They do have SQL interfaces through Delta Lake and Hive but they run complicated Spark Jobs which are time consuming and much slower than MySQL Heatwave.
