The MySQL HeatWave Database Service added new capabilities that enable applications to scale database read operations to millions of queries per second. 

More than 5 million queries per second in OCI MySQL HeatWave using 16 replicas with the shape AMD E4 16 OCPU 256 GB RAM.

Users can add and remove read replicas and load balancers to DB Systems with just a few clicks, and the service takes care of deployment, configuration, monitoring, and maintenance. Applications can connect directly to read replicas or to a read-only endpoint that automatically balances the queries across all the replicas. 

 

The replication from the primary instance is asynchronous, so there is no performance impact on the writer instance. Each DB System supports up to 18 read replicas.

MySQL DB System with Managed Read Replicas.
The MySQL DB System has a built-in load balancer to easily scale reads using up to 18 managed read replicas.

Additionally, managed Read Replicas can be used in combination with the High Availability feature for an SLA of 99.99% and with Channels to deploy disaster recovery or cross-region topologies.
