Probably it would be worth documenting that MySQL supports relational AND JSON data natively since a long time now: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/json.html

Also, numerous cloud providers make MySQL available as managed cloud services; among which Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides:

- MySQL 8+ (standalone, cluster of 3 nodes, or with the new Heatwave analytics engine https://www.oracle.com/news/announcement/mysql-autopilot-for-heatwave-2021-08-10/ and Machine Learning capabilities for model building right inside the database https://blogs.oracle.com/mysql/post/building-your-first-machine-learning-model-with-mysql-heatwave-ml)

- The same services but on AWS infrastructure https://www.oracle.com/news/announcement/mysql-heatwave-on-aws-2022-09-12/

Maybe in a next post? :)
