Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The first thing that caught my attention was its high performance. Percona Server for MySQL is built on top of the open-source MySQL, but with added features and a better performance. I noticed a significant improvement in query execution time compared to other databases I have worked with. This has greatly enhanced the overall performance and speed of our backend processes.
  • After using their service for five months, I can say with certainty that it was well worth the effort. This server is excellent for any SQL queries. Although slightly more expensive than the competition, the cost is still fair and the server support is excellent. Additionally, its user interface is excellent.
  • Easy to install, good documentation, and supporting blog posts. It's currently the only way to use MyRocks on MySQL 8.
  • 1. Excellent Connections redirect to all the nodes in MySQL Cluster 2. No Data loss even big disaster 3. Managing cluster is very easy 4. Configuring cluster is very easy and quick
  • Very fast and easy to use. Can be easily learned by anyone. Great user interface and can be easily setup.

Cons

  • One of the best features of Percona Server for MySQL is its scalability. As a backend developer, I understand the importance of a database that can handle a growing amount of data without compromising on performance. With Percona, I was able to effortlessly scale up as our data grew, without any downtimes or performance issues. This has been a major advantage for our team, as we no longer have to worry about database limitations.
  • Similar to other MySQL database servers, Percona Server is not a well-liked option, making it occasionally challenging to persuade businesses to choose it rather than the alternatives.
  • Fewer users than stock MySQL server, so it can be slightly harder to get community support for some edge cases.
  • If we get common static to connect all the nodes , which is more helpful.
  • No cons its just the documentation can be extended.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Setup is a breeze. Easily add firewall rules Easily add or remove users. Fast support and possibility to bring your own aws cloud etc when you are really scaling etc.
  • So simple to setup and manage our databases. We've luckily not had to use the automated failover in production, but tested it rigorously before deploying. It couldn't be easier to manage and setup. The alert system is amazing as well.
  • I am a scientist who has no formal training in computer science or databases. I needed to create a MySQL database to store a large amount of training data for a machine learning project. I found AWS to be overly complicated and overpowered for my needs. ScaleGrid offered an affordable solution with a web interface and very responsive support. I highly recommend them.

Cons

  • - it's a bit costly for minimum plan being 10$ It is costly for starters but if you are about to scale it makes sense to use it.
  • I honestly don't have a single con for moving to ScaleGrid. It was so simple.
  • It would be helpful to have a bit more documentation about how to manage backups, get more disk space, and use the web console. It is all probably self-evident to database gurus, but for non-experts like me, documentation would be very helpful.
