A summary of basics of MariaDB and MySQL performance tuning, along with a few more advanced hints and tips. Beyond these, further tuning becomes very workload specific.
When you DROP or TRUNCATE a table or partition in MySQL and you have a large buffer pool, you may noticed a complete server lock-up or stall of multiple seconds. Mitigation and Workarounds.
