Лучшие альтернативные MySQL движки для Magento – Percona, Mariadb

- Magento советы

У MySQL существует несколько альтернатив, на которые вы в любой момент можете переключиться.  Лучшие из них это MariaDB и Percona. MariaDB является ответвлением MySQL, которое развивается при участии всего сообщества по лицензии GNU GPL. Создателями решения являются оригинальные разработчики  MySQL. Основные цели MariaDB включают в себя поддержание высокой совместимости с MySQL, обеспечение возможности “drop-in” замены с библиотекой двоичной эквивалентности и сопоставление с командами и API MySQL. В свою очередь Percona Server является еще одной бесплатной альтернативой MySQL. Решение обладает высокой масштабируемостью, улучшенной производительностью, нехарактерными для базового движка особенностями и всеми необходимыми инструментами. Кроме того, Percona полагается на алгоритмы самонастройки и обладает поддержкой передового мощного железа. Далее мы расскажем о том, когда стоит переходить на альтернативы MySQL, такие как MariaDB и Percona.

Why choose Magento over WordPress for your Ecommerce Site

While WordPress supports MySQL and PHP language, Magento utilizes MySQL, PHP as well as Zend Framework. Magento also uses, model-view-controller and entity-attributes-value model to store in database.

While WordPress is a favorite for blogging platforms, Magento has carved out a name for itself as the better CMS platform for ecommerce sites. It is an open source cross-platform.  Both the platforms are highly SEO friendly and has huge user base.

Magento provides powerful features as well as control of marketers to manage their respective online stores. Magento provides its users with a huge range of shopping cart plugins and payment options.
