Maatkit Support & Development

Percona employs Maatkit's creator Baron Schwartz and Daniel Nichter as a fulltime Maatkit developer. We are the world's foremost experts on this toolkit. Percona can help you deploy and support Maatkit, plus fix bugs, add features, and integrate it with other systems. Examples of our Maatkit services include:

• Setting up continual data verification between a master and slave, possibly including automatic repair of differences found.
• Integration with other tools such as Nagios and Cacti for graphing, trending, alerting, and monitoring.
• Tracking query performance over time and alerting when a query needs to be examined by your DBA or our experts. Queries merit investigation when their performance changes or when they have never been seen before. This can also be a great auditing and security mechanism.
• Adding a reliable replication heartbeat to make it possible to measure replication delay from first principles.
• Versioning your schema, users and permissions in a change control system.
• Setting up archiving, purging, and ETL processes.
• Custom data synchronization when MySQL replication is not flexible enough.
• Creating a delayed replication slave. This gives you a window of opportunity to restore functionality without needing to restore from the most recent backup. This can be very helpful in case of an accidental or malicious loss or change of data on a replication master.
• Many other types of automation and administration jobs.
• Adding new tools and extending existing ones to serve new or different purposes.
