It is a comprehensive analysis of the design of your database (or a specific set of tables). It is a delicate task that will assess best practices in database modeling. It involves determining the best choice of data types that will allow for optimal column performance. Normalization and/or denormalization of tables. Indexing strategy. Selection and suitability of storage engines.
Replication is a native and powerful utility in MySQL, and it’s simple to implement. However, this simplicity often leads many DBAs to overlook certain details that can result in implementation errors. Our work here can take two approaches: implementing replication or reviewing the entire existing architecture. We can create highly scalable and redundant environments that offer benefits such as contingency, online backup, performance, and robustness, while also adhering to best practices and usage standards.
You provide us with a set of queries to be validated or optimized, either before going into production or those already known to be problematic. We can also scan all queries executed on your server and identify those that consume more resources than necessary. In short, regardless of how the queries are provided, the work here involves applying best practices in writing SQL statements, always aiming for: the best possible performance, maximum concurrency, and the absence of locks.
Among the techniques used, we can highlight: the application of MySQL-specific hints, use of indexes (B-tree, B+tree, R-tree, hash, full-text), implementation and optimization of caches and buffers, optimizer configuration, query pre-compilation, and the use of events and summarized tables.
Horizontal table partitioning can be an excellent strategy for “breaking up” large tables into multiple smaller physical files. The idea behind this concept is to create “sub-tables” that are transparent to the application but recognized by the RDBMS. The goal is to achieve higher performance and resolve other operating system-related issues.
However, it can become a major headache if the partitioning concept implemented by MySQL is not fully understood. In this consulting service, we implement the best partitioning techniques, using appropriate strategies to maximize the benefits of MySQL pruning, thereby improving query performance. This includes partition maintenance strategies, choosing the best partitioning factor, indexing, storage engine selection, and more.
It is increasingly common for business rules and/or complex routines/functions to be implemented within the database in the form of procedures, functions, triggers, and events/jobs. It’s a common belief that routines that ran well in another RDBMS will perform just as well in MySQL and therefore do not require review—but that’s not necessarily the case.
We can create stored routines based on a requirements analysis, improve existing ones, or even rewrite them entirely.
MySQL allows you to create your own functions in C++. These functions can be integrated into the MySQL core and used by your applications as if they were native RDBMS functions. We can help you develop these functions, which can result in greater power and flexibility for your applications.
Do you understand the ACID concept? Are your applications truly transactional? What is the most appropriate isolation level for your transaction? What is the ideal wait time for a locked row (record)? How can you identify rows locked by other sessions? Is the storage engine you’re using the best option for transactions? How can you take full advantage of MySQL’s transactional features?
Do you need a multimodal, simultaneous transaction across different databases—for example, starting the same transaction in both Oracle and MySQL? We can review your source code and provide all the necessary knowledge to ensure your applications work with transactions in a safe and effective manner.
These are fine-tuning adjustments made exclusively to the mysqld server configuration and the operating system. MySQL/MariaDB has a complex network of configuration variables, and their proper tuning requires extensive theoretical and practical experience. Based on the analysis of your server load, the most frequent operations, and other factors, we can determine the optimal settings for each variable. It’s important to emphasize that there is no magic configuration—often, it’s necessary to go beyond variable adjustments to truly achieve a high-performance environment.
Design of database environments with high availability, scalability, load balancing, geo-replication, and hybrid setups between on-premise and cloud. Definition of all hardware and software components. Creation of Data Warehouse environments. Integration of SQL and NoSQL environments. ETL processes.
Or "jump start" is essentially about understanding your RDBMS needs and, from there, determining the most suitable hardware and operating system. The MySQL server will be selected from the various available flavors and platforms and, if necessary, compiled with a set of parameters that best meet your requirements. A general spectrum tuning is included as a bonus. This consulting service also considers alternative MySQL distributions that may offer features better suited to the type of operations your application will demand from the RDBMS.
High Availability
High availability is a legitimate requirement for mission-critical applications. In our view, high availability is not just about maximizing uptime—it also includes delivering a high volume of data efficiently. Does your database require high uptime levels with SLAs ranging from 99.99% to 99.9999%? Minimal application impact during preventive maintenance, corrective actions, and backups? High data throughput? Whatever your high availability needs may be, we have the solution:
Active-active cluster
Active-passive cluster
MySQL Cluster
DRBD
Memcached
Continuent/Tungsten
Multi-master replication
Broadly speaking, Break & Fix is a service methodology in which the client hires the provider to perform specific, pre-defined repair tasks. Our B&F service is equipped to handle any type of database incident, from Level 1 to Level 2 (Oracle, SQL Server, HBase, MongoDB, etc.), and up to Level 3 support for MySQL. The main requests under this service category include: database service not starting or failing to initialize, file and/or data corruption, data recovery, instability issues, security concerns, and more.
Over the past 10 years, we’ve accumulated more than 25,000 hours of database consulting, trained over 1,000 DBAs through official courses, and delivered more than 100 lectures and workshops. Currently, we manage over 1,000 database servers and handle an average of 100 support tickets per day—with 100% customer satisfaction.
Emergency Support is a specialized service provided by our Rapid Response Team. Typically a “break-fix” situation, it aims to urgently restore an unavailable server. Consulting services cover the full spectrum of our portfolio but require scope definition and must be scheduled in advance.
In our 25-year journey, we’ve gained extensive experience and knowledge. More than just certifications, we have real expertise and hands-on practice in the technologies we work with. We manage over 1,000 database servers and actively participate in continuous learning and update programs. We offer fair pricing and, above all, demonstrate deep respect for our clients—respect that translates into efficiency, availability, and performance.
