Abstract
This book has covered a lot of material including a brief overview of some of the newest features of MySQL 8. I focused on the MySQL Document Store including all its components: the X Protocol, X DevAPI, MySQL Shell, and changes to the server with the MySQL X Plugin. Not only that, but I also gave a walkthrough on how to develop applications using the X DevAPI—from SQL-based to hybrid to NoSQL solution. These technologies are fantastic additions to the server features and promise far more return on your development resources than traditional relational database application development. It is clear that there is a lot to MySQL 8 than just a new, jaunty jump in version numbering.
