MySQL Server shuts down frequently and won't start again now

OS: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS xenial

I installed MySQL on my server on AWS and it was working fine, but after we started getting much traffic on-site, it started failing frequently. To fix it, I usually restart the service or server which works but for only a few minutes/hours and then it fails again. Now MySQL doesn't start again even after I restart the server.

Running sudo systemctl start mysql i get this message

Job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mysql.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

And this is the content logged in /var/log/mysql/error.log
