Why MySQL
Why MySQL Remains a Trusted Database Choice
Proven Reliability
MySQL has powered web applications for 30 years, with proven reliability at Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube scale.
Massive Hosting Support
Every major cloud provider — AWS RDS, Azure, Google Cloud SQL — offers managed MySQL with automated backups and failover.
InnoDB Transactions
Full ACID transaction support with row-level locking enables safe concurrent writes in high-traffic applications.
Read Replica Scaling
Read replicas horizontally scale read-heavy workloads, distributing query load across multiple database nodes.
Wide ORM Support
Every major ORM — Prisma, Sequelize, TypeORM, SQLAlchemy, Hibernate — has first-class MySQL support.
Galera Cluster
Multi-master replication with Galera enables synchronous writes across nodes for zero-RPO deployments.
What We Offer
Our MySQL Development Services
MySQL Schema Design
Normalised schema design with proper data types, indexes, foreign key constraints, and naming conventions.
Query Optimisation
EXPLAIN analysis, slow query log review, index tuning, and query rewriting to eliminate bottlenecks.
Replication Setup
Primary/replica and multi-source replication configuration with automatic failover and monitoring.
Migration Management
Schema migrations with Flyway or Liquibase, including backward-compatible strategies for zero-downtime deployments.
MySQL to PostgreSQL Migration
Full migrations from MySQL to PostgreSQL including data type mapping, function rewrites, and application layer updates.
Performance Audit
Comprehensive MySQL performance review — table structure, indexes, configuration parameters, and query patterns.
Managed RDS Setup
AWS RDS or Aurora MySQL setup with parameter groups, Multi-AZ, automated backups, and CloudWatch monitoring.
Backup & Recovery
Automated backup schedules with mysqldump and Percona XtraBackup, tested restore procedures, and PITR configuration.

How We Work
Our MySQL Development Process
Discovery & Planning
We align on goals, architecture choices, and technical constraints before writing a single line of code.
UI/UX Design
Research-led wireframes and interactive prototypes validated with stakeholders before development begins.
Agile Development

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about MySQL
MySQL or PostgreSQL — which should I choose?
Both are excellent. MySQL has broader shared-hosting support and a larger developer familiarity pool. PostgreSQL has advanced features (JSONB, window functions, full-text search, extensions) and stricter SQL standards compliance. For greenfield projects, we default to PostgreSQL; we continue MySQL for projects with existing MySQL infrastructure.
How do you handle MySQL performance problems?
We run EXPLAIN on slow queries, review the slow query log (queries over 100ms), check index usage with information_schema, profile connection pooling, tune innodb_buffer_pool_size, and rewrite problematic queries.
What is Amazon Aurora MySQL?
Aurora MySQL is AWS's MySQL-compatible managed database that separates compute from storage. It's up to 3x faster than standard MySQL, auto-scales storage, supports up to 15 read replicas, and offers near-zero RTO failover. We recommend Aurora for production MySQL workloads on AWS.
How do you run zero-downtime MySQL migrations?
We use gh-ost or pt-online-schema-change for large table alterations — they create a shadow table, migrate data in batches, and swap atomically without locking production. Small table changes run as standard migrations in deployment pipelines.
Can you migrate our application from MySQL to PostgreSQL?
Yes. We audit MySQL-specific syntax, migrate data types, rewrite stored procedures, update ORM configurations, run shadow tests with both databases simultaneously, and execute a final cutover with a tested rollback plan.
Do you offer emergency MySQL support?
Yes. Our production support retainer includes on-call response for MySQL incidents — slow query emergencies, replication lag, disk full events, and connection exhaustion. Most MySQL production incidents are resolved within 2 hours.
