Oracle has announced a free upgrade to its MySQL HeatWave service which it says promises to make life easier for clients, while at the same time improving performance and stability.
The upgrade comes in the form of MySQL Autopilot, an entirely new component to Oracle’s cloud-hosted version of the database system.
According to the company’s press release, MySQL Autopilot uses “advanced machine learning techniques” to automate much of HeatWave’s features – including provisioning, data loading, query execution and failure handling, to name a few – all of which should help users achieve high query performance at scale.
