Database
Operations

Your data layer, run like production infrastructure. We keep every database fast, highly available, backed up, and recoverable, across engines and clouds, so your teams ship features instead of babysitting queries at 3am.

What We Handle

The Whole Data Layer, On Call.

Provisioning & Patching

Databases stood up as code, right-sized, and kept current with security patches and minor-version upgrades on a maintenance calendar you approve.

0 surprise upgrades

HA & Replication

Primary-replica topologies, automatic failover, and read scaling tuned to keep writes safe and reads fast across zones and regions.

99.99% uptime target

Backup & Recovery

Automated snapshots plus continuous WAL for point-in-time recovery, with restores rehearsed on a schedule, not assumed.

restores tested monthly

Performance Tuning

Slow-query hunting, index and plan review, connection pooling, and vacuum or compaction tuning so latency stays flat as you grow.

p95 held under SLO

Security & Compliance

Encryption at rest and in transit, least-privilege roles, secret rotation, audit logging, and data masking for regulated workloads.

SOC2 / HIPAA ready

Monitoring & On-Call

Golden database signals wired into dashboards and paging, with a human on-call who knows your schema, not a generic runbook.

24/7 coverage
Backups & Recovery

Rewind To Any Second.

Daily snapshots give you a floor; continuous write-ahead logging fills every moment in between. Together they let us restore to the instant before a bad deploy or an accidental DELETE, not just to last night.

Performance Tuning

We Read The Plan, Not The Guess.

Every slow endpoint traces back to a query plan. We profile the real ones, fix the indexes and the SQL, and prove the win with EXPLAIN ANALYZE, not vibes.

Schema Migrations

Change The Schema, Not The Uptime.

Availability holds at 100%
01

Expand

ALTER TABLE …
  ADD COLUMN v2 NULL

Additive only. Old code keeps working, nothing locks.

02

Backfill

UPDATE … SET v2 = f(v1)
  WHERE id BETWEEN …

Batched and throttled so replication never falls behind.

03

Dual-write

write(v1); write(v2);

App writes both columns behind a feature flag.

04

Cutover

read(v2)  // flip flag

Reads switch to the new shape. Instantly reversible.

05

Contract

ALTER TABLE …
  DROP COLUMN v1

Once verified, the old column is retired. Done.

High Availability

Failover Is A Non-Event.

When a node dies, humans should not be the recovery plan. We automate detection, promotion, and rerouting so an outage becomes a blip your users never notice.

1
t+0.0sSteady state

Primary serving writes, replicas streaming in sync.

2
t+2.4sFault detected

Health checks fail three times; the primary is marked down.

3
t+4.1sReplica promoted

The most caught-up replica is elected and promoted to writer.

4
t+6.8sTraffic rerouted

Connection strings repoint; writes resume on the new primary.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions.

Still have questions?

Our database engineers are happy to talk specifics.

Talk to an Expert

Both. Whether you run PostgreSQL on your own VMs, a self-managed Mongo cluster, or fully managed services like RDS, Aurora, or Atlas, we operate them the same way, with monitoring, backups, tuning, and on-call. We will also advise when moving to a managed service actually saves you money and toil.

Let Your Data Layer Run Itself

Send us your engines and your pain points. We will assess health, harden reliability, and take on the on-call, so your databases stop being the thing that keeps you up.
