- MySQL-Manage Memory Usage Efficiently

Woocommerce store with big catalogue (20k+) - Dealing with server issues forever - Please help me out!
What helped me for one server was dedicating more of the memory to the database storage engine. In my case it was InnoDB buffer pool tweaks. If you’re running MySQL then using MySQLTuner (https://github.com/major/MySQLTuner-perl) may help but this all requires command line work so I would suggest this only being done if you’re experienced with this or getting someone experienced to help. I’ve also seen but not yet experienced that a managed database solution or a separate database server may help.
