You'll learn how to improve performance by analyzing query execution, indexing for common SQL clauses and table joins, optimizing data access, and understanding the most important MySQL metrics. You'll also discover how replication, transactions, row locking, and the cloud influenceMySQL performance. Understand why query response time is the North Star of MySQL performance Learn query metrics in detail, including aggregation, reporting, and analysis See how to index effectively for common SQL clauses and table joins Explore the most important server metrics and what they reveal about performance Dive into transactions and row locking to gain deep, actionable insight Achieve remarkable MySQL performance at any scale
