MySQL 8 Observability
summary
MySQL 8 adds concrete observability: Performance Schema with >1,000 instruments and configurable consumers, session vs global SHOW STATUS deltas, INFORMATION_SCHEMA/sys views for I/O and memory allocations, and sys schema summaries that expose surprising totals (eg many terabyte-like allocation counts that are actually allocation counts). Query tools include the new tree EXPLAIN format and EXPLAIN ANALYZE (executes and compares estimates), optimizer trace, extended slow log, and Percona Monitoring and Management for trending and drilldown; enable selectively to limit overhead.
