Introducing an Open-Source MySQL Memory Calculator

I learned that people are still looking for an online MySQL memory calculator to estimate the maximum memory usage of MySQL. Sometimes during MySQL tuning it might be helpful.

The most popular tool is mysqlcalculator.com, which has few problems:

  • It’s closed source.
  • The interface is outdated.
  • It calculates MySQL variable tmp_table_size as global memory usage instead of per-connection, which can lead to inaccurate results.

To fix these problems, I tried AI in coding, polished the result and sharing a new open-source MySQL memory calculator.

MySQL Memory Calculator from Releem

Key improvements include:

  • Open-source
  • Correct handling of tmp_table_size
  • A simple, user-friendly interface.

Here's the repository and a demo.
