MySQL HeatWave Database Service

MySQL HeatWave is the only service that enables developers and database administrators to run OLTP and OLAP workloads directly from their MySQL Database.

Eliminate ETL

Eliminate the complex, time-consuming, expensive ETL process and integration with a separate analytics database.

Deliver real-time analytics

Analytics queries always access the most up-to-date data as updates from transactions automatically replicate in real time to the HeatWave analytics cluster. There’s no need to index the data before running analytics queries.

Improve security

All data at rest and in transit between MySQL Database and the nodes of the HeatWave cluster is encrypted by default. There’s no risk of data being compromised during ETL since data isn’t transferred between databases.

No changes to MySQL applications

HeatWave is a native MySQL solution. Current MySQL applications work without changes.

Use existing business intelligence (BI) and data visualization tools

HeatWave supports the same BI and data visualization tools as MySQL Database, including Oracle Analytics Cloud, Tableau, and Looker.

• Learn more about HeatWave

HeatWave is an in-memory, massively parallel, hybrid columnar query-processing engine. It implements state-of-the-art algorithms for distributed query processing that provide very high performance.

Architected for massive scale and performance

HeatWave massively partitions data across a cluster of nodes, which can be operated in parallel. This provides excellent internodal scalability. Each node within a cluster and each core within a node can process partitioned data in parallel. HeatWave has an intelligent query scheduler that overlaps computation with network communication tasks to achieve very high scalability across thousands of cores.

Optimized for the cloud

Query processing in HeatWave has been optimized for commodity servers in the cloud. The sizes of the partitions have been optimized to fit the cache of the underlying shapes. The overlap of computation with communication is optimized for the network bandwidth available. Various analytics processing primitives use the hardware instructions of the underlying virtual machines (VMs).

• Discover more about HeatWave

HeatWave ML includes everything users need to build, train, deploy, and explain machine learning models within MySQL HeatWave, at no additional cost.

No need for a separate machine learning service

With native, in-database machine learning in MySQL HeatWave, customers don’t need to move data to a separate machine learning service. They can easily and securely apply machine learning training, inference, and explanation to data stored inside MySQL HeatWave. As a result, they can accelerate ML initiatives, increase security, and reduce costs.

Save time and effort with machine learning lifecycle automation

HeatWave ML automates the machine learning lifecycle, including algorithm selection, intelligent data sampling for model training, feature selection, and hyperparameter optimization—saving data analysts and data scientists significant time and effort.

Explainable ML models

All the models trained by HeatWave ML are explainable. HeatWave ML delivers predictions with an explanation of the results, helping organizations with regulatory compliance, fairness, repeatability, causality, and trust.

Use current skills

Developers and data analysts can build machine learning models using familiar SQL commands; they don’t have to learn new tools and languages. Additionally, HeatWave ML is integrated with popular notebooks such as Jupyter and Apache Zeppelin.

Improve productivity by automating time-consuming tasks such as high-availability management, patching, upgrades, and backup with a fully managed database service. Accelerate application development with instant provisioning of resources.

Built, managed, and supported by the MySQL engineering team

Developers can deliver modern, cloud native database applications with immediate access to the latest features from the MySQL team. MySQL HeatWave is 100% compatible with on-premises MySQL for a seamless transition to the cloud, without changes to applications.

Improve security and regulatory compliance

Advanced security protects your databases against external attacks, data breaches, and internal misuse of information. The latest MySQL security patches from the MySQL team are automatically applied to limit your exposure to security vulnerabilities.

Real-time elasticity enables customers to increase or decrease the size of their HeatWave cluster by any number of nodes without incurring any downtime or read-only time.

Consistent high performance, even at peak times, and reduced costs with no downtime

The resizing operation takes only a few minutes, during which time HeatWave remains online, available for all operations. Once resized, data is downloaded from object storage, automatically rebalanced among all available cluster nodes, and becomes immediately available for queries. As a result, customers benefit from consistently high performance, even at peak times, and lower costs by downsizing their HeatWave cluster when appropriate—without incurring any downtime or read-only time.

No overprovisioned instances

Customers can expand or reduce their HeatWave cluster to any number of nodes. They aren’t constrained to overprovisioned and costly instances forced by rigid sizing models offered by other cloud database providers. With HeatWave customers pay only for the exact resources they use.
