In today’s world of database management, where data is continuously growing and continuous access in real time is critical, the ability to operate and scale MySQL databases seamlessly with zero downtime is essential. Scaling involves distributing database workloads across multiple servers and multiple localities to enhance query response times and maintain high availability, thereby reducing the risks of service interruptions and performance degradation.
