This seems interesting but this passage from the readme is a red flag to me:

>You do not have to learn database tuning. KubeBlocks can leverage storage and computing resources to achieve optimal database performance.

No one has ever delivered on this pipe dream.

It looks like this project is for more than just MySQL. Should the title get updated?

Also, the `Quick Start` link in the readme goes to a 404.

If this is supposed to be used in production as open source, then I am a little surprised that it's under AGPL 3.0, especially given there's no mention of commercial version.

Unless you were using a modified version without making your changes available, why would this be a problem?

I think the key word here is "you".

You just get it running, hack your spaghetti and when it becomes a problem you're already assigned on another project so someone else will have to sort it out.

I'm still not sure what is the purpose of this, the README is not clear.

So... throw money on compute instead of just adding an index..?

https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_optimize ?

If SQLite feels that performing database optimizations (such as running ANALYZE or creating new indexes) will improve the performance of future queries, then some database I/O may be done.

Try it and maybe you get a dream-come-true.
