MySQL

What do you like best?

The thing that I like the most about MySQL is how simple it is to set up and easy to start using. If you know SQL, there is no learning curve for actually using this database management system. It also has integration with various tools that I use on a day-to-day basis, such as IntelliJ Idea. Another thing that I like about MySQL is that it allows for fast and lossless recovery of data if someehting goes wrong during transactions.

What do you dislike?

The only thing that I dislike about MySQL is that it gets a bit slow and takes significant performance hits when working with large databases. Other than that, there is nothing I dislike about MySQL, as it perfectly suits my needs at the moment.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

At my company, we are using MySQL as an underlying database management system for almost all internal R&D projects. I use it for a Deep Learning-based project for managing and storing the data that comes from the customer side. One of the most significant benefits of using MySQL in this setting is that it is easy to get your desired database running quickly.
