Private Self-Hosted Version

The free MySQL Visual EXPLAIN service is perfect for 99% of the users. And with the API, you can even integrate slow query submission into your tools. It's an incredible service for an unbeatable price - it is free to use.

However, large enterprises, growing startups, or teams with specific compliance needs may have very strict requirements about the information they share. An EXPLAIN does not contain any data from your tables, but it still includes information about the schema, the expected number of matching rows to a condition etc. So there's a self-hosted private version for these 1% of users with higher demands that offers a range of compelling benefits:

• Enhanced Data Protection
  Healthcare providers, financial institutions, and any company with trade secrets must pay attention when handling sensitive or proprietary data. These issues are completely eliminated because the self-hosted version never stores or transmits anything outside your network.
• Compliance with Industry Regulations
  Industry standards like GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2 and others have rigorous rules about data residency, protection or handling of information. The self-hosted version simplifies compliance by never sharing anything with a third-party.
• Reliable Availability and Offline Access
  Although this service has never been offline before, there isn't any guarantee that the cloud will not have issues when you urgently need to fix slow MySQL queries impacting production. With a self-hosted version, you're not dependent on this site's availability. You can also operate in regions with unreliable internet connectivity or environments that require offline capabilities (e.g. remote sites or secure facilities).

Hosting a private MySQL Visual EXPLAIN instance is straightforward: You get a prebuilt docker image to deploy in your Kubernetes cluster. And if you don't use Kubernetes, you can use docker-compose, run the docker container directly etc. With docker, it's really easy to get it running - and keep running.

The price is between $10k/year (US Dollars) for a small team and $50k-$100k/year for a publicly traded company. Please send me an email to hello@mysqlexplain.com to discuss further details. With a self-hosted license, you're supporting a project run by a human and its further development.
