MySQL Ecosystem Showcase
Explore tools and projects built with, for, or on MySQL.
Inspired by Shlomi Noach's Awesome MySQL and the fork by Alkin Tezuysal.
Anemometer
Box
A web-based slow-query monitoring and visualization tool originally developed at Box. It analyzes MySQL slow-query logs and presents workload information, but its software stack and maintenance activity make it more appropriate as legacy tooling today.
innodb-ruby
Jeremy Cole
A Ruby parser for InnoDB file formats. It is primarily useful for low-level storage investigation, forensic analysis, and understanding InnoDB internals rather than everyday performance monitoring.
MySQL Explain Analyzer
Preetam
A web-based analyzer for MySQL EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON output. It adds commentary, scalability analysis, and shareable/permalink-style examples for understanding query execution plans.
MySQLTuner-perl
Major Hayden / contributors
A script that examines a MySQL installation and produces configuration and performance recommendations. It covers workload, memory, security, replication, and other operational signals to help administrators tune a server.
ReadySet
ReadySet
Readyset is a database performance and scaling company that provides a drop-in SQL caching layer for PostgreSQL and MySQL. Its technology sits between applications and their databases, automatically caching expensive queries and keeping results synchronized as underlying data changes—helping teams reduce query latency, database load, and infrastructure costs without rewriting application code.
Wireshark
Wireshark Foundation / community
A general-purpose network protocol analyzer that can decode the MySQL protocol among many others. For MySQL work it is useful when diagnosing network behavior, protocol exchanges, or unusual client/server interactions rather than routine query optimization.
