Freely Moving Between the OLTP and OLAP Worlds: Hermes – an High-Performance OLAP Accelerator for MySQL

Summary: Hermes is a lean, cloud-native single-node OLAP accelerator for MySQL, avoiding ETL and distributed-query overhead while delivering 2–3 orders-of-magnitude speedups. Replication guarantees MySQL-consistent, fully fresh results with negligible wait times and up to 60k changes/s. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
