The Hidden Pitfalls of Cloud-Based Managed MySQL Services

Cloud-based managed MySQL data services are being aggressively marketed to organizations with the promise of streamlining their database management. These “managed data services” are an alternative to more traditional “non-managed data services” – software solutions with embedded intelligent proxies and cluster management using native MySQL run on-premises, in the cloud, or a hybrid cloud. These […]
