The InnoDB Buffer Pool caches frequently accessed data and index pages, reducing the need for disk I/O and improving query performance.

HeatWave achieves high performance for analytical queries through vectorized query execution, which processes data in large chunks in memory, significantly speeding up complex query operations.
