Sedge is a tech consultancy in Vienna, led by Miklos Szel. We bring twenty years of running MySQL at scale to your database, your infrastructure and your AI plans.
Four areas, one way of working: understand the system first, change it carefully, and leave your team able to run it.
Architecture, high availability and performance for MySQL, from a single primary to fleets serving millions of queries per second.
Infrastructure you can rebuild from code. We automate the database and server work that is still done by hand, and move systems without losing data or sleep.
We build and review software with AI tools in the loop, and keep the security standard where it was before they arrived.
Where AI belongs in your company, and how to run it. We look at how your teams work, find the places where AI pays off, and set the rules for using it.
We read what you have: topology, schema, queries, configuration, runbooks, and how your team works with them.
You get written findings ranked by impact and effort, with the reasoning behind each one.
We make the changes alongside your engineers, or hand over a plan they can carry out themselves.
Documentation, automation and training, so the result keeps working after we leave.
Sedge is built on its founder's two decades in database operations. These results come from Miklos Szel's work in-house and as a consultant.

Miklos is a senior database architect based in Vienna. He has used Linux since 1997 and MySQL since version 3.23, and has spent his career keeping large websites running: as a consultant at Pythian and PalominoDB, at The Walt Disney Company, and for seven years as the database architect at Edmodo.
