Our Services

MySQL Consulting & Support

Every engagement is staffed by a senior MySQL engineer — no juniors, no ticket queues.

01

MySQL Architecture & Replication Design

We design the replication topology and buffer pool sizing around your actual read/write split — not a default single-primary setup that falls over under load.

  • Replication topology design: asynchronous, semi-synchronous, and Group Replication
  • InnoDB buffer pool and redo log sizing for OLTP vs. reporting workloads
  • Partitioning and sharding strategy for tables outgrowing a single instance
  • Read replica routing and proxy layer design with ProxySQL or MySQL Router
02

Performance Tuning & Optimization

Lock contention and slow queries look similar from the outside but need opposite fixes. We isolate which one you actually have before touching configuration.

  • InnoDB tuning by workload type: write-heavy, read-heavy, or mixed OLTP
  • Slow query log and EXPLAIN-driven index and query rewrites
  • Lock contention analysis for hot-row and gap-lock bottlenecks
  • Connection pooling and thread pool sizing to prevent connection storms
03

Version Upgrades & Migration

The 5.7-to-8.0 jump changed default collations, removed query cache, and altered optimizer behavior in ways that surface as silent bugs, not errors. We plan around the breaking changes, not just the version number.

  • 5.7-to-8.0 upgrade planning around removed features and collation changes
  • Oracle and SQL Server to MySQL schema and stored procedure migration
  • Aurora MySQL vs. RDS MySQL vs. self-managed architecture evaluation
  • Online schema change execution with gh-ost or pt-online-schema-change for zero downtime
04

Managed Operations & 24/7 Support

Replication breaks quietly until an application starts reading stale data. We monitor lag and failover readiness continuously, not just when something is already on fire.

  • Replication lag monitoring and automated failover runbook design
  • Backup validation with point-in-time recovery testing
  • 24/7 incident response for lock contention, replication breaks, and disk pressure
  • Capacity planning tied to query growth and connection volume trends
05

MySQL Health Check & Assessment

A structured review of indexing, replication topology, and configuration against your actual workload — delivered as a written report your team can act on.

  • Index usage and duplicate index audit across the schema
  • Replication topology and lag risk review
  • Configuration audit against workload-appropriate InnoDB defaults
  • Written report with prioritized remediation ranked by production risk

How Our Support Actually Works

Beyond SLAs — the model behind senior-only, zero-cold-start expert access.

Named Engineers on Your Account

Every ticket is handled by a senior SME assigned to your account — not a pool of anonymous agents. Zero cold-start. No re-explaining your environment.

Live Escalation on Any Ticket

Any ticket can be escalated to a live session with your named engineer via calendar booking. No gatekeeping, no approval required — direct access, always.

Proactive Risk Mitigation

Quarterly health checks on your deployment plus shared intelligence from 50+ support customers — we surface risks before they reach production.

Critical Bug & CVE Intelligence

Proactive alerts on critical bugs and CVEs affecting your exact version, with version compliance monitoring so you're never caught off guard.

Licensing & Security Edge

Dedicated support for vendor license negotiations and compliance audits, plus bi-annual security reviews focused on your specific deployment.

Direct Product Roadmap Access

As the only vendor directly connected to the core engineering teams, AceMQ delivers exclusive early insights, strategic upgrade planning, and curated release summaries — tailored to your environment.

FAQs

MySQL Questions Answered

Common questions about MySQL consulting, support, and migrations.

Our MySQL consulting covers replication architecture, InnoDB and query performance tuning, version upgrade planning, zero-downtime schema change execution, and migration off Oracle or SQL Server. Every engagement is staffed by a named senior engineer with production-proven MySQL expertise.

The default collation change to utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci, removal of the query cache, stricter default SQL modes, and optimizer behavior changes around common table expressions all cause real production issues. We plan the upgrade around these specific breaking changes rather than treating it as a routine version bump.

Yes. We use gh-ost or pt-online-schema-change depending on your replication topology and table size, with dry-run validation and a rollback plan before touching production. This is standard practice for tables in the hundreds of millions of rows where a plain ALTER TABLE would lock the table for hours.

We evaluate against your team's operational capacity, read-scaling needs, and cost sensitivity at your actual data volume — Aurora's storage-layer replication behaves differently from binlog replication in ways that matter for failover time and cost at scale.

A MySQL healthcheck covers index usage, replication topology and lag risk, InnoDB configuration against your workload type, and connection handling. We deliver a written report with prioritized remediation steps. Most teams run healthchecks quarterly or after major changes.

We start with replication lag, lock wait counts, and InnoDB buffer pool hit ratio to isolate the problem layer, then move to immediate stabilization and root cause analysis. We stay engaged until the database is fully recovered and the incident is documented.
