Title is a bit misleading, since Oracle is the brand and well as the a specific database product, he is claiming that Oracles cloud hosted version of mysql is faster than AWS Aurora, not claiming that Oracle DB is faster than mysql.
- kelthan 3y agoThat is _probably_ what he means, but there is nothing in the quotes in the article to confirm that is _actually_ the case. Also, the comment at the end of the article "... RDMA and other key drivers behind Oracle’s ascent to being the world’s hottest major cloud vendor" demonstrates that the person who wrote the article is not interested in asking hard questions. Oracle Cloud is quite a way from being the "hottest cloud vendor" by any meaningful metric, right now.
- WatchDog 3y agoIts mentioned in the article a few times, and in a quote from Larry. > "We’ve announced a new database — a new version of MySQL with a fast query processor called HeatWave — and we have customers moving from Amazon Aurora where they’re experiencing a 1,000x speedup versus Aurora."
