Globally the two best working databases are Oracle’s Autonomous Database and MySQL’s new HeatWave Database. Both solutions give tremendous growth prospects for their cloud infrastructure industry due to their exceptional high performance. As they migrate to the public cloud, Oracle database on-premise clients are opting for their Autonomous Database and their distinctive Cloud@Customer service. Customers of Amazon Aurora are learning that migrating to MySQL with HeatWave can boost speed by more than tenfold while lowering costs.
