MySQL

Partner with MySQL experts

We build and tune MySQL systems for speed and reliability, clean schemas, optimised queries, and resilient, well-watched databases that grow with your traffic rather than buckling under it.

This is for teams whose data on MySQL has outgrown its current setup and who need modelling, performance, and reliability that hold up under load.

Custom MySQL Development Services

We design and operate MySQL systems that hold their speed, correctness, and availability even as the data piles up. Sound data modelling, tuned queries, and resilient operations are the priorities, a data platform your applications can lean on at any hour.

Dated, expensive databases hold roadmaps back and inflate the budget. We run end-to-end migrations onto modern MySQL from Oracle, SQL Server, or older systems, handling the migration itself, the schema conversion, data validation, and a low-downtime cutover. What you get out of it is lower licensing costs, faster systems, and a stable base that speeds future development up.

How we help

We migrate from Oracle, SQL Server, or older systems onto MySQL with schema conversion, validation, and low-downtime cutover.

We build and run MySQL on AWS RDS, Azure Database for MySQL, and Google Cloud SQL, with automated backups, monitoring, and scaling in place. That takes operational overhead off your plate, supports the compliance you need, and leaves teams a ready-to-scale environment that keeps pace with an aggressive roadmap.

How we help

We operate MySQL on AWS RDS, Azure, and Cloud SQL with automated backups, monitoring, and scaling.

Slow queries turn straight into lost revenue and frustrated users. Our engineers audit the schema, rework query and indexing strategy, and add caching that lifts throughput right away, leaving you faster applications, happier users, and systems that hold their performance under pressure.

How we help

We audit schemas, tune queries and indexing, and add caching to lift throughput under pressure.

Downtime costs you revenue, reputation, and roadmap time all at once. We design resilient, high-availability MySQL on InnoDB Cluster and Percona XtraDB Cluster for genuine automated failover, with robust replication topologies and ProxySQL handling load balancing. That's what keeps your applications up, your data reachable, and your teams on delivery instead of firefighting an outage.

How we help

We design HA clusters with InnoDB Cluster, Percona XtraDB, and ProxySQL for automated failover.

A strong application rests on a strong database. We design MySQL schemas and relationships around your actual application logic and performance needs, so the structure comes out clean and scalable, improving efficiency and keeping long-term technical debt down.

How we help

We design tailored schemas aligned to your app logic for a clean, scalable structure with lower technical debt.

Disconnected systems slow operations down and hold insight back. We build the APIs and integration layers that connect MySQL to your ERP, CRM, and payment systems, so data moves smoothly across the organisation, leaner workflows, fewer manual steps, and systems that finally talk to each other.

How we help

We build APIs and integration layers connecting MySQL to ERP, CRM, and payment systems.

Data trapped inside applications can't inform a decision. We build dependable ETL and ELT pipelines that carry data from MySQL into modern warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift, giving teams a reporting-ready base for analytics in tools like Tableau and Looker, all while production stays tuned for application performance.

How we help

We build ETL/ELT pipelines from MySQL into Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift for reporting-ready analytics.

High-traffic sites need a database that can ride out an unpredictable surge. We configure MySQL backends for CMS and platforms like Magento, WooCommerce, and Drupal to handle large catalogues and heavy transaction loads, so customers get a seamless experience and your team gets a stable, revenue-ready platform they can count on.

How we help

We configure MySQL backends for Magento, WooCommerce, and Drupal to handle large catalogs and traffic surges.
