Hire MySQL Experts | Nearshore Software Development

MySQL is the world's most popular open-source database, powering a huge number of web applications from startups to large enterprises. You need an expert who understands how to build and operate a high-performance, reliable MySQL environment. Our vetting process, powered by Axiom Cortex™, finds engineers who are masters of MySQL. We test their ability to design efficient schemas, write optimized queries, and manage a production MySQL instance for performance and high availability.

Is your website slow due to inefficient database queries?

The Problem

Slow database queries are a common cause of poor website performance. Developers who don't understand how to write efficient SQL or how to properly index their tables can bring an application to its knees.

The TeamStation AI Solution

We vet for engineers who are experts in MySQL performance tuning. They must demonstrate the ability to use the `EXPLAIN` statement to analyze query performance, to design an effective indexing strategy, and to write efficient SQL.

Proof: MySQL Query Optimization and Indexing
Are you at risk of data loss or downtime from a database failure?

The Problem

A single database failure can lead to catastrophic data loss and prolonged downtime for your application. Without a proper backup and replication strategy, you are putting your business at risk.

The TeamStation AI Solution

Our engineers are proficient in MySQL high availability and disaster recovery. They are vetted on their ability to set up and manage a replication topology (e.g., primary-replica), to perform regular backups, and to execute a point-in-time recovery.

Our Technical Analysis for MySQL

The MySQL evaluation focuses on building reliable and performant web-scale database systems. Candidates are required to design a database schema for a typical web application and write a set of queries to support its functionality. A critical assessment is their ability to optimize slow queries by analyzing the output of `EXPLAIN` and creating the appropriate indexes. We also test their understanding of the InnoDB storage engine and its features, like transactions and row-level locking. Finally, we assess their operational knowledge, including how to set up and manage a high-availability replication cluster.
