Beyond COUNT_STAR=0: Auditable MySQL Index Removal with performance_schema

This article presents a rigorous, production-ready framework for MySQL index governance that moves beyond simplistic zero-usage checks, using performance_schema observation windows, structural gatekeeping, invisible index canary testing, and quantified rollback metrics to safely identify and remove redundant indexes without risking query regressions.

Indexes Aren't Free: Production Index Governance for High-Write Order Systems

This article presents a comprehensive index governance methodology for high-write MySQL order systems, demonstrating through a real incident how a read-optimized index caused write latency, replica lag, and timeouts, and detailing a reusable process covering query-driven design, cost measurement, validation, change buffer limits, index convergence, safe deletion, read-write routing, sharding, transactional outbox, idempotent consumers, online DDL safeguards, gating, and long-term ownership.

When Indexes Become Write Killers: MySQL Order Table Write Performance Collapse Postmortem

Adding three secondary indexes to a MySQL 8.0 orders table caused write P99 latency to jump from 15ms to 2.3s and TPS to drop from 4800 to 1100 during peak hours; the article details a reproducible forensic process using A/B testing, invisible indexes, and sysbench to prove the culprit index had zero read benefit and safely remove it.
