HeatWave

HeatWave is a new, integrated, high-performance analytics engine for MySQL Database Service. HeatWave accelerates MySQL performance by 400X for analytics queries, scales out to thousands of cores, and is 2.7X faster at one-third the cost of Amazon Redshift. MySQL Database Service, with HeatWave, is the only service that enables database admins and app developers to run OLTP and OLAP workloads directly from their MySQL database, eliminating the need for complex, time-consuming, and expensive data movement and integration with a separate analytics database. The service is optimized for and exclusively available in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

The only MySQL service with a massively scalable, integrated analytics engine

With HeatWave, MySQL Database Service customers can now run sophisticated analytics directly against their operational MySQL databases.

Built-in real-time analytics for MySQL Database

New integrated, high-performance analytics engine

In-memory analytics accelerator

HeatWave is a new, in-memory analytics accelerator developed for MySQL Database Service. It’s a distributed, scalable, in-memory, hybrid columnar, query-processing engine designed for fast execution of analytic queries. HeatWave is optimized for and exclusively available on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

Architected for massive scale and performance

HeatWave enables in-memory vectorized processing, massive inter-and intra-node parallelism, and distributed query processing. This is facilitated by an in-memory, massively partitioned architecture and overlapping computation with network communication tasks.

Optimized for OCI

Query processing has been optimized for OCI. The sizes of the partitions have been optimized to fit the cache of the underlying shapes. The overlap of compute with communication is optimized for the network bandwidth between two nodes in OCI. Various analytics processing primitives use the hardware instructions of the underlying shapes.

Machine-learning automation

HeatWave uses machine learning to intelligently automate operations such as provisioning, increasing DBA productivity and reducing costs.

MySQL delivers real-time analytics

Real-time analytics

Modifications made by OLTP transactions are propagated in real time to HeatWave and immediately visible for analytics queries. There’s no need to index the data before running analytics queries.

400X faster performance for complex queries

HeatWave accelerates MySQL queries by 400X using massively parallel processing to provide real-time analytics.

1100X faster than Amazon Aurora

HeatWave is 1100X faster than Amazon Aurora.

2.7X faster than Amazon Redshift

HeatWave is 2.7X faster than Amazon Redshift using in-memory analytics.

Highly scalable

HeatWave can scale up to thousands of OCI cores.

Cheaper than Amazon

One-third the cost of Amazon Redshift

HeatWave is one-third the cost of Amazon Redshift.

One-third the cost of Amazon Aurora

HeatWave is one-third the cost of Amazon Aurora.

Easy migration from Amazon RDS

MySQL Shell provides utilities that enable users to easily migrate from Amazon RDS to MySQL Database Service.

Single database for OLTP and OLAP

Unique built-in analytics engine

Oracle MySQL Database Service, with its integrated HeatWave, is the only service that enables database admins and app developers to run OLTP and OLAP workloads directly from their MySQL database.

Eliminate ETL

Eliminate the cost, complexity, and risk of the lengthy extraction, transform, load (ETL) processes that are required when using separate databases for OLTP and OLAP.

Improve security

Since data isn’t transferred between databases, there’s no risk of it being compromised during the ETL process. Relying on a single database for OLTP and OLAP eliminates the need to have different identity management, improving security.

Faster business insights

HeatWave enables customers to query operational data in real time to make better, faster business decisions.

No changes to MySQL applications or queries

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

BI and data visualization tools

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

We discovered astonishing performance improvements during our tests of the new HeatWave, reducing query times from hours to seconds in cases of non-index based queries. This enables us to expand our service and open the door to many more analytics-based capabilities while maintaining a single, seamless database platform.
Dr. Jens UeckerSenior Key Expert, Siemens Healthineers

HeatWave is 10 times faster than the analytics service of another major cloud vendor. Now there is no need for ETL. Compared to MySQL on-premises, HeatWave is 4,000 times faster.

MySQL Database Service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure—run applications and analytics with better performance, scale, and efficiency

Leo Leung, Sr. Director, Product Management, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

MySQL is still the most popular open source and developer database on the planet according to DB Engines and Stack Overflow. It's rated 4.5 out of five stars by thousands of engineers and users on g2, TrustRadius, and Gartner. It's used by the world’s largest social networks, ecommerce companies, and banks, as well as the most innovative manufacturers and high-tech companies. We’ve worked hard to build a MySQL cloud service worthy of the name. Today, we are excited to announce an exclusive capability on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
