Choosing the right Storage Engine

Below are a few examples of the provided storage engines and here you can find a more detailed documentation:

• InnoDB – The default storage engine for generic purposes, transactional.
• Spider – Uses partitioning to provide data sharding through multiple servers.
• ColumnStore – Utilizes a massively parallel distributed data architecture and is designed for big data scaling to process petabytes of data.
• MyRocks – enables greater compression than InnoDB, as well as less write amplification giving better endurance of flash storage.
• S3 – a read-only storage engine that stores its data in Amazon S3.
