MySQL 8.0 at 4. Where are we now?
summary
Fleet runs into specifics: thousands of MySQL boxes, some clusters holding ~100 TB, migrations take weeks to a month and require automation plus app-owner buy‑in; native cloning speeds provisioning but fails silently on MyISAM and sparse files (native cloning quirks); compressed binlogs slash disk use to roughly 20% of previous size (compressed binlogs cut space by ~80%); group replication reduces split‑brain but shows membership and latency edge cases; rolling minor upgrades reveal many commits and unexpected deprecations (minor‑version awareness needed).
