SolidStateDB POSTGRESQL CONSULTING — EST. PRACTICE, 20+ YEARS

POSTGRESQL & DATABASE CONSULTING

Deep database expertise, no learning curve on your time.

We have spent over two decades working with databases — not just using them, but building infrastructure around them, tuning them at scale, and contributing to the PostgreSQL ecosystem itself.

When you work with SolidStateDB, you get that depth from day one: no ramp-up, no generic playbook, no junior engineer learning on your system. Just people who have already seen your problem before.

A first look, typically.

FROM A RECENT HEALTH CHECK — orders_by_customer
Query plan (before)
Seq Scan on orders
3,847 ms
Rows filtered
Full table scan, no matching index
4,821,903
Fix applied
CREATE INDEX idx_orders_customer
Query plan (after)
Index Scan using idx_orders_customer
0.8 ms
Net result
One missing index, found on day one
4,800×

This is not a hypothetical. It is close to the median finding on a first health check: a workload that has grown past the indexes it started with, quietly costing seconds per request nobody has measured yet.

01 — SERVICES

Work organised around how databases actually behave

Every engagement starts with understanding your system — not applying a generic playbook to it.

01

PostgreSQL Health Check

A fixed-scope review of your single node or cluster, delivered as a written report with prioritised findings and specific next steps.

Start here
02

Performance Tuning

We read EXPLAIN ANALYZE output and tell you what's actually wrong — not what a generator suggests.

04

Database Migrations

Oracle, MySQL, cloud, or on-prem — schema conversion and the edge cases automated tools miss.

02 — WHY SOLIDSTATEDB

We've been inside the engine, not just driving it.

Most database consultants work with PostgreSQL. We've spent careers working on it.

Not what a configuration generator recommends. We read query plans, study your workload pattern, and give a specific diagnosis grounded in your system — built on decades of hands-on PostgreSQL engineering, not just database administration.

More about how we work →

"You only learn what actually matters after seeing enough systems fail in enough different ways. That is what we bring to the table."

03 — AI-AUGMENTED WORK

Expert knowledge, now with AI in the loop.

We are not an AI company. We are database engineers who use AI tooling the right way — to move faster, surface patterns earlier, and give you better answers. The judgement is still ours.

01

PostgreSQL MCP Server

Letting AI assistants like Claude or Cursor connect directly to your database, read live query plans, and inspect pg_stat_statements.

02

Database Knowledge RAG

A retrieval layer grounded in accurate documentation and your own runbooks — not generic, version-blind answers.
