Featured Client: Vodafone PLC (MySQL Reliability) 24x7 Operational Support Continuous monitoring and incident management with proactive alert systems and dedicated response teams that identify and resolve potential issues before they impact service. Our distributed team provides round-the-clock coverage across all time zones, ensuring zero service gaps. The monitoring infrastructure utilizes custom-built dashboards integrating Prometheus, Grafana, and PagerDuty with tailored alerting thresholds based on Vodafone's specific traffic patterns. This setup has reduced false positives by 65% while increasing true incident detection rates by 42% compared to their previous solution. Open-Source HA Solutions Cost-effective reliability without proprietary licensing using custom-engineered solutions built on Percona XtraDB Cluster, ProxySQL, and Orchestrator. This approach delivered enterprise-grade reliability while reducing licensing costs by 72% compared to commercial alternatives. Our implementation includes automated node health verification, intelligent read/write splitting, and custom middleware that dynamically routes traffic based on real-time performance metrics. The solution provides seamless failover capabilities with an average transition time of less than 3 seconds, imperceptible to end users. Comprehensive DR Strategy Multi-site recovery capabilities with regular testing through automated failover drills and cross-regional replication. Our solution maintains synchronous copies across three geographic regions with sub-15-second recovery time objective (RTO) and near-zero recovery point objective (RPO). We implemented a sophisticated orchestration layer that coordinates MySQL Group Replication with storage-level replication across AWS, Azure, and on-premises infrastructure. Monthly disaster simulation exercises verify recovery procedures and continuously improve response protocols, resulting in a 78% reduction in recovery time over the past two years. Performance Optimization Continuous improvement through systematic tuning of database configurations, query patterns, and infrastructure sizing. Performance engineering reduced average query latency by 78% while supporting a 3x increase in transaction volume without additional hardware investment. Our team developed custom query optimization tools that analyze workload patterns and automatically suggest indexing strategies, table partitioning approaches, and query rewrites. These tools have identified and resolved over 1,200 performance bottlenecks, enabling Vodafone to handle seasonal traffic spikes exceeding 40,000 TPS with consistent sub-5ms response times. For Vodafone PLC, we provide MySQL reliability engineering that ensures database availability for critical telecommunications services supporting over 300 million customers worldwide. Our implementation has maintained 99.999% uptime while reducing operational costs through open-source technologies and automation. The redesigned database architecture successfully handles over 25,000 transactions per second during peak hours and supports Vodafone's billing, CRM, and customer self- service portals across 26 countries. The initial engagement began with an emergency response to a critical outage that impacted Vodafone's European billing systems. Within 72 hours, our team stabilized the environment and implemented temporary safeguards. This swift response led to a comprehensive database architecture review and subsequent redesign that eliminated the structural weaknesses in the original system. A key component of our solution was developing a custom database observability framework that provides Vodafone's operations teams with unprecedented visibility into their MySQL environment. This framework correlates application performance metrics with database telemetry, enabling rapid root cause analysis and predictive issue detection that has reduced mean time to resolution by 65%. Our partnership has evolved from tactical support to strategic database engineering, helping Vodafone achieve both technical excellence and significant cost optimization in their digital transformation journey. The success of this engagement has led to MinervaDB expanding our role to include database reliability engineering for Vodafone's emerging IoT platform, which is projected to support over 50 million connected devices by 2025.
