About MySQL 8.0

MySQL is a powerful open-source relational database in use since the mid-90s. Developers have relied on MySQL as a first step to storing, processing, and sharing data. As its user community has grown, MySQL has become a robust system capable of handling a wide variety of use cases and very significant workloads. Unlike other traditional databases that centralize and consolidate data, MySQL lends itself to dedicated deployment, which supports building "cloud native" apps.

The major features of MySQL 8.0 include:

  • Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC)
  • Tablespaces
  • Asynchronous replication
  • Nested transactions (savepoints)
  • Online/hot backups
  • Redo logging for fault tolerance
  • Crash-safe DDL
  • Unicode
  • NoSQL Document Store interface
  • Native JSON datatype
  • Native Geographic Information System (GIS) support
