Case Study: VRGlass achieves 5X database performance with MySQL HeatWave

VRGlass boosts database performance 5X with MySQL HeatWave

VRGlass, a Brazilian startup developing a VR/AR metaverse platform, faced challenges with database performance and scalability on their previous cloud providers, AWS and Digital Ocean. Their platform required a highly available and powerful database to handle massive workloads without unscheduled downtime, all while needing a flexible, pay-per-use pricing model. To address these challenges, they turned to vendor MySQL and implemented their MySQL HeatWave database service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

By migrating to MySQL HeatWave with assistance from the Oracle team, VRGlass achieved a 500% increase in database performance. This solution enabled them to successfully manage a huge event with over 1 million visitors and signups reaching 8,000 per minute. The implementation, guided by MySQL's support team, was completed in just three hours and resulted in a halving of costs due to the efficient pay-per-use pricing and HeatWave Autopilot features.
