MySQL on HTTP/3 | The Backend Engineering Show

The communication between backend applications and database systems always fascinated me. The protocols keep evolving and we are in constant search for an efficient protocol that best fit the workload of Backend-DB communication.

In this episode of the backend engineering show I go through a blog written by @PlanetScale doing an experimentation of using HTTP/3 and HTTP/2 comparing it with MySQL Binary protocol.
