We make slow databases embarrassingly fast.
dbtuneup is a focused engineering practice that audits, tunes, and migrates production databases. We don't sell tools — we deliver outcomes you can measure with EXPLAIN, pgBadger, and a stopwatch.
Reproducible performance, every engagement.
Most "tuning" advice is vibes-based — drop these indexes, change this config, hope it works. Our promise is the opposite: every change is benchmarked on a staging copy first, every result is documented, and every rollback script is verified before we touch production.
Outcome-driven
We optimize for measurable wins — p95 query time, index hit rate, and replication lag — not vendor checklists.
Engineer to engineer
You talk to the person doing the work. No account managers, no relays, no "let me check with the team."
Production-shaped
We work on real workloads with production-shaped data — never synthetic benchmarks that lie.
Rollback first
Every deployment ships with a tested reverse. If anything looks off, we restore in minutes.
Boring math, exciting outcomes.
Built for teams that ship.
If you ship product and your database is in the way, we're the team that gets it out of the way.
Growth-stage SaaS
Workloads that outgrew their original schema. We harmonise indexes, normalize hot tables, and re-plan queries for 10× the load.
Engine migrations
MySQL → Postgres, Mongo → Postgres, hosted → self-managed. We map types, validate FKs, and stage the cutover end-to-end.
Legacy modernization
Old monoliths with overgrown schemas. We audit, document, and bring observability to systems that nobody fully understands anymore.
