Database services, end to end.
Pick a single engagement or stack them — every service ends with measurable before/after numbers and a documented rollback path.
Performance audit
A focused read of your slow-query log, EXPLAIN plans, and missing indexes — turned into a punch list of the highest-impact fixes.
What's included
- Slow-query log + pg_stat_statements / MySQLTuner analysis
- EXPLAIN ANALYZE walkthrough on the top N queries
- Index health report (dead, missing, duplicate, redundant)
- PDF audit summary you can share with stakeholders
Index & query optimization
We rebuild your index strategy on a staging copy, rewrite the worst offenders, and verify with before/after benchmarks.
What's included
- Composite + covering indexes, B-tree vs GIN/GiST trade-offs
- Query rewrites (subquery → JOIN, CTEs, window functions)
- Dead-index removal with replication-safe rollout
- Before / after benchmark report on production-shaped data
Database migration
Single-engine upgrades or full cross-engine migrations using pgloader, AWS DMS, or custom ETL pipelines — with a verified cutover.
What's included
- Schema dump, sanitised replay on staging
- Cross-engine type & FK mapping (MySQL ↔ Postgres, SQL → Mongo)
- Logical replication / dual-write cutover under 5 minutes
- Backup + rollback scripts, post-migration smoke tests
Schema review & normalization
A senior pair-of-eyes on your schema — flagging accidental N+1 designs, denormalisation that hurt you, and modelling that won't scale.
What's included
- Entity-relationship review with growth assumptions
- Hot-table normalization / partitioning recommendations
- Foreign key + constraint hygiene check
- Migration plan to reach the recommended end state
Rollback & recovery hardening
For teams that want to ship database changes faster — we audit your backup, PITR, and rollback story and harden the gaps.
What's included
- Backup + PITR validation (we restore it on a test cluster)
- Migration rollback patterns + tooling
- Disaster recovery runbook with RTO / RPO targets
- On-call playbook for the most likely failure modes
Enterprise tune-up
Everything: deep audit, query rewrites, schema review, migration where needed, plus a 30-day post-deploy review window.
What's included
- pgBadger / MySQLTuner deep audit + workload profiling
- Query rewrites, schema review, and selective migration
- Priority chat support throughout the engagement
- 30-day follow-up review with executive PDF
