Scenarios where this is best suited are like where there are not large set of data which has to be analyzed and extracted.It helps in the efficiency of data .It is also well suited for medium size companies where you have to create a common data for everyone. As for large set of data, there can be network latency issues and thus there are some limitations of this software.

Cons
  • Pricing can be a concern if not configured properly
  • Not available as a standalone or on premise offering. Only available through OCI
  • No Jobs interface like that in Databricks with Spark and Delta Lake

  • There is no access to the physical host of the DB. This is expected from a managed DB. Everything must be done through the console or via API calls. This is a new learning curve for the DBAs.
  • Due to the lack of physical host access, certain features are not supported, such as Transportable tablespaces and Oracle LogMiner.
  • Certain special data types, (such as XMLType) are not allowed; be sure the app vendor certifies their product on this platform.

Alternatives Considered
There is no other product in the market like MySQL Heatwave. The other competitive offerings are Databricks Lakehouse and Cloudera which essentially are Data Analytics Platforms and Data Warehousing Solutions. They do have SQL interfaces through Delta Lake and Hive but they run complicated Spark Jobs which are time consuming and much slower than MySQL Heatwave.

Hands down it's the best. It's secure and extremely fast. It also doesn't need a lot of babysitting. It's running itself. It does its job as advertised. This is why I feel everyone should if they haven't already taken a hard look OAD. I feel it's the future of technology at its best. Everyone should be taking notice of how far technology has come and where it's going.
