InnoDB is a MySQL database engine, which has been gaining popularity lately, because it offers a much better overall performance and a faster crash recovery in comparison with the default engine that’s used by MySQL – MyISAM. InnoDB is endorsed by a lot of devs that run highly scalable software apps, because it works better with immense volumes of data, while it keeps the server processing load at a minimum. What’s more, it it locks only one row in the database if any information should be edited, whereas lots of other engines lock the entire database table and therefore need more time to accomplish several sequential tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB observes the "all-or-nothing" rule – in case the entire data modification process cannot be completed for any reason, the action is rolled back to avoid confusion or data loss. Magento and the newest releases of Joomla™ are two instances of widespread open-source script-driven apps that have switched to InnoDB.
