Percona has an ability to be powerful in configuration options. This database and the company behind it outperforms the industry but is somewhat the unsung hero while doing it. I recommend entirely this database for a small startup that has incredibly intense data workloads. This database if setup correctly is a 5 9's environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The complexity is the major drawback to this service. I recommend being very careful about what flags you introduce. It's worth it to learn the database, but when it starts having technical difficulty due to usually the software that works with it, it can be a challenge to understand exactly what is wrong with it. A strong DBA on your team is a requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
