The approach

Your database is the bottleneck – let’s fix it

Most ecommerce slowdowns and AWS bill shocks trace back to the database. Bad indexes, runaway queries, unmaintained tables and the wrong instance class can quietly cost you both speed and money.

Our DBAs have tuned hundreds of MySQL, MariaDB and PostgreSQL deployments running Magento 2, WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify Headless storefronts and high-traffic SaaS apps. We start with a deep audit – slow-query logs, EXPLAIN plans, schema review, index usage and lock contention – and ship a prioritised remediation plan with measurable targets.

Beyond one-time tuning, we set up proper observability (Percona PMM, pg_stat_statements, CloudWatch RDS insights), introduce read replicas where they pay off, configure InnoDB buffer pool and connection pooling correctly, and remove dead schema cruft (orphan tables, unused indexes, bloated catalog_product_entity_* on Magento).

For Magento 2 specifically, we tune EAV joins, sales_order_grid indexers, full-page cache invalidation and cron locks. For WordPress / WooCommerce, we tune wp_options autoload, post meta queries and Action Scheduler. For PostgreSQL, we tune autovacuum, work_mem and replication slots.

Frequently asked

Questions teams ask us first.

Do you work on managed RDS / Aurora / Cloud SQL?+

Yes – RDS, Aurora MySQL, Aurora PostgreSQL, Cloud SQL and Azure Database are all first-class. We also work on self-managed clusters.

Will tuning break my application?+

No. We only add or modify indexes that ORMs already expect, and we never change schema without a tested migration plan.

Can you upgrade MySQL 5.7 → 8.0 or Postgres 11 → 15 without downtime?+

Yes. We use replication-based upgrades and ProxySQL / PgBouncer cutovers to keep the application live during the upgrade window.

Do you also handle backups and DR?+

Yes. Encrypted off-site backups with point-in-time recovery, plus annual DR drills are included in the retainer.
