Database
MySQL
One of the world's most deployed relational databases, powering countless web applications. We help you get the most out of MySQL — from schema design to high-availability replication and performance tuning.
MySQL in Production
MySQL is reliable and performant when configured and used correctly. But default settings are rarely optimal for production workloads, and common anti-patterns — missing indexes, large transactions, lock contention, N+1 queries — silently degrade performance as data grows.
Software Brothers audits, optimizes, and future-proofs your MySQL deployments so they scale with your product.
Our MySQL Services
- Schema & Index Design — InnoDB-optimized schemas with appropriate column types, covering indexes, and partitioning for large tables.
- Query Performance Tuning — Slow query log analysis, EXPLAIN plan reviews, and index recommendations.
- Replication Topology — Source-replica and Group Replication setups for read scaling and high availability.
- High Availability with ProxySQL — Transparent failover, read/write splitting, and query routing with ProxySQL.
- MySQL to PostgreSQL Migration — Incremental migration strategies with minimal downtime for teams moving to PostgreSQL.
- Monitoring & Alerting — Percona Monitoring and Management or custom Prometheus/Grafana dashboards for MySQL metrics.
