With the recent launch of Apple M1 chips and Amazon Graviton Processor, the discussion about ARM performance compared to x86 gained a lot of traction. Not only because it shows promising results in terms of performance, but when compared to the x86 instances, the costs are in general smaller. In this talk we are going to discuss some scenarios where we compare the performance between instances that have the same cost and instances that have similar hardware capacities. Lastly, we will check if the ARM MySQL ecosystem (backup tools, monitoring and others) is mature to support production workloads. It is expected by the end of the session that DBAs, sysadmins and managers have a clearer idea about ARM capabilities compared to x86. Speaker: Vinicius Grippa – Percona
