MySQL and MariaDB databases that started fast often become slow in ways nobody planned for: missing indexes, runaway joins, schemas that made sense at 1k users and don't at 100k. We find the actual bottlenecks and fix them — measurably.
What we optimize
- Slow query analysis — slow query log,
EXPLAINwalkthroughs, fix recommendations. - Index audits — missing indexes, redundant indexes, write-amplification from over-indexing.
- Schema cleanup — column types, normalization, denormalization where it's actually warranted.
- Connection & pool tuning —
innodb_buffer_pool_size, max connections, query cache. - Backup & replication — strategy, automation, restore drills (the part most people skip).
- UserSpice-specific — the
users_logs,plg_*, and rate-limit tables tend to grow fast — we know how to handle them.
What you get
A written report showing the before/after for the queries and operations we touched, the schema changes applied (with rollback SQL), and a maintenance plan so the gains do not erode in three months.
How it works
- Read access to a copy of your database (or a sanitized export). NDA available on request.
- Initial scan — slow query log, schema review, index audit.
- Recommendations + apply — we hand you SQL, or apply it ourselves on a staging copy first.
- Measure & report — concrete numbers showing what changed.
