MySQL Consulting That Holds Up in Production
We help teams running MySQL Community, Percona Server, RDS, and Aurora make better technical decisions — before the next incident, not after.
When MySQL Consulting Actually Helps
Most teams do not need a slide deck. They need someone who has already seen the same pattern: a replica that falls behind under write spikes, an InnoDB buffer pool that never warms correctly after failover, or a schema that looked fine at launch and now burns CPU on every checkout.
Binlogic’s MySQL consultants work with product and platform teams in the US and Europe. We review what is running today, explain trade-offs in plain language, and leave you with changes you can ship — not a generic best-practices checklist.
What a MySQL Consultant Does With Your Team
Practical work across architecture, performance, and day-to-day operations.
Architecture & Capacity
Primary/replica topology, read scaling, connection pooling, and growth planning before hardware or cloud spend becomes the only lever left.
- • Replication and failover design
- • RDS / Aurora vs self-managed trade-offs
- • Capacity and storage growth reviews
Performance & Queries
We dig into slow query logs, EXPLAIN plans, indexes, and InnoDB settings that actually move latency — not random parameter dumps.
- • Query and index redesign
- • Buffer pool and I/O tuning
- • Lock contention and hot-row analysis
Operations Readiness
Backup strategy, restore drills, monitoring signals, and upgrade paths so production stops depending on tribal knowledge.
- • Backup / PITR review
- • Version upgrade planning
- • Runbooks for common incidents
How Engagements Usually Start
- Short discovery call — current topology, pain points, and what “better” means for your team.
- Read-only assessment — metrics, slow logs, configuration, and replication health with minimal production risk.
- Prioritized plan — what to fix this week, what can wait, and what needs a longer project (HA, migration, Remote DBA).
