MySQL Database Optimization

Same goal as MySQL performance optimization, different entry point: you have a specific database or set of queries that need tuning, and you want the index/schema/query fixes applied to your system.

I review your MySQL configuration, indexes and queries, and optimize them for your actual data volume and workload.

I'm a backend developer with 10+ years of experience across PHP, Go, MySQL and Elasticsearch. Recent work includes Cenoskop (30M+ products daily), Niftycent (US price intelligence), and facha.sk (Go backend). I build, fix and optimize backend systems that handle real data and real traffic.

What I Can Help With

Optimize MySQL queries, indexes and schema for your workload.

Typical Problems

slow queries missing indexes inefficient joins table scans locking and contention high CPU usage excessive disk I/O poor schema design oversized tables

Relevant Experience

Optimized MySQL for backends processing millions of rows daily; familiar with InnoDB tuning, partitioning and read replicas.

What Is Included

MySQL configuration review
slow query log analysis
EXPLAIN analysis
index analysis and recommendations
schema review
bottleneck identification
prioritized recommendations

How It Works

You share slow-log/EXPLAIN output and schema, or grant read-only access. I identify the worst queries and apply or recommend the right indexes and schema changes. Typically a few hours to a day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Online schema changes — any downtime?

For large InnoDB tables I use pt-online-schema-change or native online DDL so writes keep flowing. I'll confirm the approach before doing anything.
