Optimizing MySQL Performance: Automating Query Detection And Tuning
Slow MySQL queries got you down? We built Releem to automatically detect missing indexes, highlight slow & frequent queries, and suggest optimizations. Say goodbye to manual log checks!
I’ve worked with developers who manage growing applications and frequently run into MySQL performance issues. As traffic increases, database queries that were once fine can suddenly start slowing things down.
The typical workflow for identifying and fixing slow queries usually looks like this:
1. Enable MySQL slow query logging.
2. Manually check the logs or use an APM tool like New Relic.
