Serverless databases

Serverless databases represent a significant shift in how database resources are managed, offering a flexible, cost-efficient model particularly well suited for dynamic workloads. In the context of MySQL, serverless databases automatically adjust computing resources based on the application’s needs, eliminating the need for manual scaling.

This model provides several benefits for database users, including the following:

• Cost efficiency: Pay only for the resources you use, which can lead to significant cost savings, especially for applications with variable workloads
• Automatic scaling: The database automatically scales up or down based on demand, ensuring that your applications have the resources they need without requiring manual intervention
• Simplified management: Reduces the complexity of database administration tasks, such as capacity planning and server maintenance
• HA: Serverless databases often come with built-in HA and DR capabilities...
