Package: A consultant will perform a detailed audit of your application's performance from the MySQL side. We can review your MySQL server's configuration, operating system and hardware configuration, application architecture, database schema (table design and indexing), and your most important queries. We'll work remotely and fix easy problems, such as MySQL server settings, indexes, and query changes. We'll give you a report on your application's capacity and scaling potential, as well as recommending changes that will help you reach your performance and scaling needs. If the performance problem lies outside of MySQL, we can diagnose it and in many cases even help solve it. A typical audit yields substantial performance improvements. A typical audit requires less than 10 hours, but complex applications may benefit from more time.

When to use it: If your MySQL application isn't performing well, or if you are planning for intense growth and would like to ensure the application is up to the challenge.
