MySQL Server performance degradation, looking for insights and solutions
Hello everyone!,
I'm facing some trouble with my MySQL server lately—it's been slowing down, and I'm not sure why. The queries that used to be lightning-fast are now dragging, and it's affecting our application's performance and user experience.
