Performance & health review
Slow-query analysis, index and schema audit, InnoDB and server tuning, replication and backup posture — delivered as a ranked fix list with the expected impact of each change.
Architecture & scaling
Replication topologies, read scaling, partitioning and sharding strategy, proxy layers, and HA/failover design for databases that have outgrown a single primary.
Upgrades & migrations
MySQL 5.7 to 8.x, self-managed to RDS or Aurora and back — replication-based cutovers measured in seconds of write pause, with rollback plans that are tested, not assumed.
Operations retainer
Incident escalation, capacity planning, online schema-change management, and monitoring buildout — an experienced MySQL engineer on call for the problems that cannot wait for a project.
EXPLAIN-level depth, architecture-level range
The same engineers who read query plans line by line also design the replication topology those queries run on. No hand-off between "tuning people" and "architecture people".
Cutover discipline
Every migration runs as a replication-based parallel operation with reconciliation checks and a rehearsed rollback. Big-bang cutovers are how databases make the news.
Vendor-neutral
Self-managed MySQL, RDS, Aurora, or a hosted MySQL platform — we recommend what fits your workload and team, because we sell engineering hours, not software or hosting.
Named engineers, not a queue
Engagements are staffed with specific senior engineers who learn your schema and stay on your problem. You always know who is working on your database.
