I love to use MySQL 8, when I was using mysql-async I got those messages:
[mysql-async] [WARNING] It is recommended to run MySQL 5 or MariaDB with mysql-async. You may experience performance issues under load by using MySQL 8.
mysql-async is a really good resource to use and don’t say people have to change, especially not in there live versions right now because this resource may be unstable right now.
I decided to make an FiveM resource that uses a different library to connect with the database. I had performance improvements compared to the mysql-async library.
mysql-async
fivem-mysql
Currently, the performance of old databases does not seem to have increased but rather decreased.
People testing this library, thank you! You can report bugs/issues on GitHub and I’ll fix them as soon as possible.
