High performance MySQL. Fully managed. In your cloud.
Tessell runs high-performance MySQL with automated high availability, backups, and patching on NVMe storage with no I/O metering, entirely inside your own cloud account.
What MySQL estates look like on Tessell
Fortune India 500 Financial Services Leader
Billed more every time they grew. But now:
Leading US Early Education Provider
Managed instances multiplying, transactions stalling. But now:
Fortune 500 US Bank
A managed service couldn't meet bank-grade HA. But now:One control plane to run your entire estate
Every MySQL instance, every cloud, provisioned, managed, scaled, and governed from a single platform.
Migrate without a maintenance window
Tessell migrates with change data capture, so your source keeps serving reads and writes throughout. You cut over in minutes with a Tessell engineer alongside you, instead of booking a weekend.
Everyday operations, automated across the estate
Patching, backups, PITR, and failover run automatically on every instance, to your standards. Teams provision and refresh their own copies inside your guardrails, so routine work stops landing on the DBA.
More throughput, not a bigger bill
Scale reads with replicas as traffic climbs, and grow IOPS on NVMe without paying per I/O. Run MySQL beside your other engines, right-sized to real usage, so the estate grows, not the invoice.
Your MySQL, your account, your keys.
Your MySQL runs in your own cloud account, not Tessell's. The control plane orchestrates; the data never leaves your perimeter. Infrastructure, keys, and the data itself stay entirely yours.
Runs in your own account
Every instance lives in your subscription, your VPC, your tenancy. Tessell's control plane holds only metadata and never has inbound access to your data.
Open-source MySQL, enterprise-grade ops
Run open-source MySQL with full root-level access, and get the high availability, backups, and monitoring you'd otherwise license separately, built into the platform.
Your keys, your encryption
Encryption at rest and in transit uses customer-managed keys that live in your account. Rotate them on your schedule; revoke them and access stops immediately.
Private by design
Nothing is exposed to the public internet. Traffic stays on private networking within your account, with no inbound paths and the perimeter entirely yours.Every MySQL operation, handled on the platform
Replication topologies, backup schedules, failover, monitoring, all the work a MySQL team usually carries out manually, is automated on the platform and standardized on every instance.
Provisioning
Choose cloud, MySQL version, compute shape, and parameter profile, and a governed instance is ready in minutes. Teams provision for themselves, inside your guardrails, from the console or as code.
- One-click or as-code
- Standard & High Performance shapes
- Self-service within guardrails
Three ways to run MySQL in the cloud
Three models, three different deals on control, cost, and operational effort. Most teams treat the trade-off as unavoidable. It isn't. Here's how they actually compare.
You run it all yourself
Everything is yours. Access, architecture, account, and all the work: every patch, failover, backup, and performance is capped by the hardware you maintain.
Fully managed, in your account, at your terms.
Automation without surrendering control. The platform runs operations across the estate inside your own account and scales on NVMe with no per-I/O charge. Full access retained, one control plane across clouds and engines, no lock-in.
Run for you, on their terms
Fastest to start and lightest to run, until you need to go deeper. Access is scoped, your data sits in the provider's environment, performance grows only with compute, and I/O is metered.
Security-first for regulated workloads
The certifications security and procurement teams look for, Tessell already holds. And because the data plane stays in your own account, your MySQL lives inside the compliance perimeter you already run, within your controls, your audit trail, your governance.
