Preface
The official documentation maintained by Oracle gives you the knowledge necessary to install, configure, and interact with MySQL. This book serves as a companion to that documentation, helping you understand how best to leverage MySQL as a powerful data platform for your use case.
This edition also expands on the growing role of compliance and security as parts of operating a database footprint. New realities such as privacy laws and data sovereignty have changed how companies build their products, and that naturally introduces new complexities in how the technical architecture evolves.
Who This Book Is For
This book is first and foremost for engineers looking to grow their expertise in running MySQL. This edition assumes its audience is familiar with the basic principles of why you want to use a relational database management system (RDBMS). We also assume some experience with general system administration, networking, and operating systems.
We will offer you proven strategies for running MySQL at scale with a modern architecture and more up-to-date tooling and practices.
Ultimately, we hope that the knowledge you gain from this book of MySQL’s internals and scaling strategies will help you in scaling the data storage layer at your organization. And we hope that your newfound insight will help you to learn and practice a methodical approach to designing, maintaining, and troubleshooting an architecture that is built on MySQL.
