Our Go database is now faster than MySQL on sysbench

Five years ago, we started building a MySQL-compatible database in Go. Five years of hard work later, we're now proud to say it's faster than MySQL on the sysbench performance suite.

We've learned a lot about Go performance in the last five years. Go will never be as fast as pure C, but it's certainly possible to get great performance out of it, and the excellent profiling tools are invaluable in discovering bottlenecks.
