About:
MySQL 5.7 is a widely-used, open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) developed by Oracle. It provides a robust, scalable SQL database server for storing, organizing, and retrieving structured data. Its main value proposition is a proven, stable, and feature-rich platform for transactional and general-purpose database workloads.

Key Features:

ACID compliance for reliable transactions
SQL-based relational data model
Replication and high availability features
InnoDB as the default storage engine
Comprehensive security and access control

Use Cases:

Serving as the backend database for web applications (e.g., LAMP stack)
Providing a stable, supported RDBMS for legacy or production systems requiring MySQL 5.7

Alternatives:

postgresql – More advanced SQL standards compliance and features, often considered for new projects.
mariadb – A community-developed fork of MySQL, offering a drop-in replacement with some divergent features.
