Sound familiar?
- ▸ Replication lag creeping past 30 seconds and your read-replicas are serving stale data to the application.
- ▸ Aurora migration stuck in pre-prod for months because row-format incompatibility keeps surfacing during cutover rehearsals.
- ▸ p99 latency sliding from sub-10 ms to 80 ms+ after a 10× growth in write throughput, and InnoDB buffer-pool tuning isn't fixing it.

MySQL Database Consulting
Expert MySQL Consulting & Performance Tuning
In short: MySQL consulting covers InnoDB performance tuning, zero-downtime 5.7-to-8.0/8.4 upgrades, InnoDB Cluster and ProxySQL high availability, query indexing and profiling, and 24/7 remote DBA support. You need it when replication lag, an Aurora migration, or sliding p99 latency outpaces what in-house buffer-pool tuning can fix.

Migration Destinations
Where do you migrate MySQL to?
The five most common MySQL exit paths we run — each with a different driver (cost, scale, geography, analytics, licensing) and a different cutover playbook. We pick based on your actual constraints, not a vendor brochure.
MySQL → Aurora MySQL
Driver: Operational offload
Lift-and-shift to AWS Aurora MySQL for managed HA, 3 AZ replication, and 5× faster reads on the same instance class. We solve the row-format pitfalls and binlog gaps that block most DIY cutovers.
MySQL → PostgreSQL
Driver: Licensing / advanced features
Cross-engine migration via pgloader + Debezium CDC for zero-downtime cutover. Common driver: GPL-license avoidance, native JSONB, advanced indexing, or richer extension ecosystem (pgvector, PostGIS, TimescaleDB).
MySQL → TiDB
Driver: Horizontal scale + HTAP
MySQL-compatible distributed SQL with built-in sharding, strongly consistent multi-region writes, and TiFlash columnar replicas for HTAP workloads. Cutover via Data Migration tool with binlog replay.
MySQL → CockroachDB
Driver: Multi-region active-active
Distributed SQL with serializable transactions across regions. Common driver: GDPR data-residency requirements, multi-region active-active writes, or escaping single-region failure domains.
MySQL → ClickHouse
Driver: Analytics offload
Decouple OLAP from OLTP — push reporting workloads to ClickHouse via MaterializedMySQL or Debezium CDC. Typical outcome: 50-100× faster dashboards while OLTP latency drops as analytical queries leave the primary.
MySQL → Vitess / PlanetScale
Driver: Horizontal sharding at scale
MySQL-compatible sharding layer running production at YouTube, Slack, GitHub. We design the sharding key, run VReplication-based cutover, and tune the gate / vtgate routing for read/write split.
