Principled Technologies Finds That Azure Database for MySQL – Flexible Server Outperformed the Soon-to-be-Retired Azure Database for MySQL – Single Server

Durham, NC, March 06, 2024 --(PR.com)-- September 2024 is the retirement date for Azure Database for MySQL – Single Server. (1) In addition to offering better value, the fully managed Azure Database for MySQL – Flexible Server database service offers stronger OLTP performance and lower latency, as PT testing demonstrated. Azure Database for MySQL ­– Flexible Server with AMD EPYC delivered up to 117 percent better OLTP performance and up to 266 percent better performance per dollar than Azure Database for MySQL – Single Server on the sysbench benchmark.

It was also quick and simple for PT to migrate a 50GB database from Single Server to Flexible Server. The PT report notes, “If you are concerned about migrating your organization’s databases from existing Single Server instances onto new Flexible Server instances, don’t be… The time to migrate a 50GB database from an 8vCPU Single Server instance to a similarly configured Flexible Server instance with AMD EPYC using Azure Database for MySQL Import was just 9 minutes and 10 seconds, which shows how quickly and easily you can have your database running on the new instance.”
