Comparisons that start from MySQL Community Server, Oracle's GPL database with LTS and Innovation release tracks, against its closest open-source alternatives.
Whether to build MySQL high availability with InnoDB Cluster, based on Group Replication with automatic failover, or InnoDB ReplicaSet, based on asynchronous replication with manual failover. Covers what the MySQL Shell docs recommend, minimum instances, data loss and split-brain risks, write performance and WAN fit, and MySQL Router.
MySQL Community Server against MariaDB Server, the fork led by the original MySQL developers: governance, release models, replication and clustering (InnoDB Cluster versus Galera), Enterprise-only MySQL features, compatibility limits and switching effort.
Oracle's MySQL Community Server against Percona Server for MySQL, a free drop-in replacement built on it: thread pool, audit log filter, data masking and PAM authentication without MySQL Enterprise, release tracking and support options.
