The document discusses innovations and new features in MySQL versions 5.7 and 8.0. Key points include: - MySQL 5.7 introduced performance improvements, security enhancements, and JSON support. - MySQL 8.0 focuses on high availability with MySQL InnoDB Cluster, and boosts developer productivity with features like common table expressions, window functions, and roles. - Both versions improve scalability and observability. MySQL 8.0 enhances the performance schema, introduces invisible indexes and persistent server variables.

21. Evolution Driving Roadmap: 1995 vs 2017
There was no local.
Noweverything is
contextual to me as a
user.
The Internet was
global, but full of
silos. Nowwe are
more connected than
ever.
In the past APIs were
cumbersome,
powered by SOAP and
XML-RPC.
There is nowan
increased focus on
privacy and
protecting
information.
