The results of this experiment show that a MySQL protocol-compatible interface, in addition to the standard HTTP API, can provide significant benefits over traditional MySQL clients. The new APIs are gRPC-compatible and use connect-go, which allows for potential improvements with HTTP/3 transport. Tests were conducted on both high latency and low latency networks, showing that HTTP is generally superior to MySQL, especially when it comes to cold starts. HTTP/3 yields additional benefits, particularly in scenarios where packet loss and other TCP issues are present, such as large payloads. The experiment highlights the potential of an HTTP API to improve performance and reliability over traditional MySQL clients.
