Every engagement starts with understanding your system — not applying a generic playbook to it. Seven services, each scoped to a specific kind of problem, all delivered by the people who do the work.
Not sure where to begin? A fixed-scope review of your single node or cluster, delivered as a written report with prioritised findings and specific next steps — not a generic scorecard.
Most engagements start here. It gives you a clear, evidence-based picture of where your database actually stands before committing to anything longer-term, and it's scoped tightly enough to turn around fast.
Hands-on, manual diagnosis: cost parameters, JIT, parallelism, vacuum tuning — the full picture, not a single knob turned in isolation. We read EXPLAIN ANALYZE output ourselves and tell you what's actually wrong, without leaning on any automated advisor to do the thinking for us.
This is ongoing or project-based work, scoped to your actual workload — a write-heavy OLTP system and an analytics warehouse get tuned very differently, and we treat them that way. If you already have an automated tuning tool in place, that's covered separately below.
Ongoing database operations without the overhead of a full-time hire. Proactive monitoring, incident response, version upgrades, backup validation, and a direct line to engineers who know what they're looking at.
We manage what you already run — public cloud, private cloud, or on-prem — we're not selling you new infrastructure or a hosting platform. Built for teams that need real DBA coverage but don't have the volume of work to justify a dedicated headcount, or want senior-level oversight alongside an existing team. Engineers can work fully remote or embed at your premises, whichever fits how your team operates.
Oracle to PostgreSQL, MySQL to PostgreSQL, cloud to on-prem, or on-prem to cloud. We handle schema conversion, data validation, and the edge cases automated tools miss — because we've seen what breaks in production.
Migrations fail quietly, in the details a generic conversion tool doesn't know to check: sequence semantics, isolation-level differences, procedural code that doesn't translate cleanly. That's where we spend our time — and for cutovers where timing and access matter, we can run the migration on-site at your premises rather than purely remote.
High availability, replication topologies, Patroni, CloudNativePG, connection pooling, and distributed setups. We help you design for the failure modes you haven't encountered yet — not just the ones you have.
This spans greenfield architecture for a new system and hardening an existing one that's outgrown its original design assumptions.
Automated tuning and index-recommendation tools have gotten genuinely good — but knowing which one fits your workload, and whether to trust what it's telling you, still takes real PostgreSQL judgement. We help you select, configure, and validate the right tooling for your environment.
This isn't a hands-off "turn on autopilot" service. We review what an automated tool proposes against your actual workload before anything is applied, and we're vendor-neutral — the right answer is sometimes a specific commercial tool, sometimes an open-source approach, sometimes just a manually-applied index once we know what to look for.
Production incidents don't keep office hours. When your database is down or degraded, you need an engineer who can diagnose and act — not a ticketing queue. We offer direct emergency access for critical situations, remote by default with on-site response available for severe incidents.
This is offered alongside our other services for existing clients, and as a standalone retainer for teams that just need a real escalation path when things go wrong.
Most engagements start with a conversation, not a commitment. Tell us what you're dealing with and we'll point you at the right starting place — often the health check, sometimes not.
