Overview

MySQL appears in client estates and integration databases—not the default ConnectSoft Factory SQL Server baseline.

Relational SQL Server on Azure remains the default for Factory and SaaS templates—paired with NHibernate or EF Core, migrations in CI, and backup policies that match enterprise SLAs.

Polyglot and client-mandated stores are supported with clear boundaries: integration schemas, migration tooling, and capacity planning so operational data never becomes an undocumented side channel.

Need search, cache, or warehouse tiers alongside transactional SQL? We design data paths that stay observable, recoverable, and aligned with your Azure landing zone.

Why we use it:

  • Connector in .NET where needed
  • Migration tooling
  • HA/replica patterns
  • Clear ownership per engagement
  • Migration and rollback discipline in Azure Pipelines
  • Encryption, redundancy, and residency matched to SLA
  • Clear ownership between platform SQL and integration stores
