Merry Christmas! Just in time for the holidays, we have released a new tool to help you configure and manage your MySQL servers. Our online MySQL Configuration Wizard can help you generate a good basic configuration file for a server. This MySQL tuning wizard is our answer to the commonly asked question, “what is a good default configuration file for my server with 16 GB of RAM?”

We have a raft of new features planned for future releases, including advanced configuration options, supersafe settings to prevent bad things from happening, and much more. In the future we plan to add more online tools to help you be more productive.

Please give it a spin and let us know what you think. Credit for this tool must go to Miguel Trias, our talented lead developer. Thanks also to the many experts inside Percona who helped test, and made suggestions for improving the tool.
