Amazon claims that Aurora has “Up to 5X the throughput of MySQL”. Is it true? It wasn’t easy to find the truth, but I kept digging until I found it. This is a long read; let’s chase the rabbit all the way down the hole.

Historically MySQL is great in horizontal READ scale. The scaling in that case is offered by the different number of Replica nodes, no matter if using standard asynchronous replication or synchronous replication.
However those solutions do not offer the same level of scaling for writes operation.
Why? Because the solutions still rely on writing in one single node that works as Primary. Also in case of multi-Primary the writes will be distributed by transaction. In both cases, when using virtually-synchronous replication, the process will require certification from each node and local (by node) write, as such the number of writes are NOT distributed across multiple nodes but duplicated.
The main reason behind this is that MySQL is a relational database system (RDBMS), and any data that is going to be written in it, must respect the RDBMS rules ( …

Some times it’s important to know the size of a transaction, especially when you plan to migrate to a HA solution where by default transactions have a limited size to guarantee an optimal behavior of the cluster.
Today we will see the different possibilities to have an idea of the size of transactions.
First we need to split the transaction in two types:
- those generating data (writes, like insert, delete and update, DML)
- those only ready data (select, DQL)
To implement High Availability, only the first category is important.
Size of DML
To know the size of a DML transaction, the only possibility we have is to parse the binary log (or query the binlog event).
We need to check the binlog event from the binlog file and then calculate its size. To illustrate this, let’s try to find the transaction identified by a specific GTID: …
