summary
MySQL 8.0 adds document-first features and operational tooling: the JSON_TABLE function maps JSON into relational rows so SQL can join and index document fields, CTEs and window functions handle adjacency/analytics, and utf8mb4 optimizations claim 3–15× string performance. Operational features include invisible indexes that stay maintained while hidden for safe drop testing, skip-locked/no-wait row locks to avoid contention, a crash-safe data dictionary, histograms in the optimizer, resource groups, and a lab claim of >1M TPS lab result.
