While Microsoft offers their own Azure Database product, there are other alternatives available that may be able to help you improve your MySQL performance. In this blog post, we compare Azure Database for MySQL vs. ScaleGrid MySQL on Azure so you can see which provider offers the best throughput and latency performance.

Quality gates are benchmarks in the software delivery lifecycle that define specific, measurable, and achievable success criteria a service must meet before moving to the next phase of the software delivery pipeline. For example, improving latency by as little as 0.1 latency is the number one reason consumers abandon mobile sites.

ScyllaDB offers significantly lower latency which allows you to process a high volume of data with minimal delay. In fact, according to ScyllaDB’s performance benchmark report, their 99.9 percentile latency is up to 11X better than Cassandra on AWS EC2 bare metal. So this type of performance has to come at a cost, right?

Most publications have simply reported the benchmark improvement claims, but if you stop to think about them, the numbers dont make sense based on a simplistic view of the technology changes.
