Consulting engagements cover MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Valkey/Redis, and MariaDB across on-prem, cloud, Kubernetes, and hybrid environments.

Suppport Benefits

Gain confidence with responsive high-impact decisions

Architecture, migration, and upgrade strategies are reviewed, pressure-tested, and validated by experienced engineers before implementation. We assess tradeoffs, long-term operational impact, and failure scenarios so critical decisions are sound, documented, and built to hold up in real production environments, not just theory.

Suppport Benefits

Get clear answers to ambiguous problems

When behavior is inconsistent or patterns are unclear, our experts perform deep analysis across queries, storage, scaling, and system interactions. We separate signal from noise, explain root causes, and provide actionable guidance so teams can move forward with confidence instead of operating on assumptions.

Suppport Benefits

Reduce risk from irreversible changes

Major transitions such as migrations, upgrades, and redesigns are planned with proven methods, fallback paths, and measurable checkpoints. We help teams avoid costly mistakes, minimize disruption, and execute complex changes safely with clear documentation, validation steps, and recovery strategies in place.

Suppport Benefits

Make progress when internal teams are stuck

When initiatives stall due to uncertainty, competing viewpoints, or lack of specialized expertise, we step in with structured analysis and decisive guidance. Our experts unblock decisions, align technical direction, and help teams execute complex work so critical projects move forward instead of lingering unresolved.

“Time To Pet has leveraged Percona’s suite of open source tools for years for our routine database administration tasks. When it came time for a more complex MySQL upgrade and infrastructure re-organization, Percona was the obvious choice. They performed a full system analysis, plotted our best path forward, and implemented the changes without any issues. ”
