Database Design & Administration
Reliable, performant database design and ongoing administration to keep your data safe and your queries fast.
What this service covers
A poorly designed database is the root cause of most performance problems and data integrity issues. Our engineers design normalised schemas, optimise slow queries, set up replication, and provide ongoing DBA services for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite-based systems.
How we deliver
A structured engagement model that keeps every milestone visible and every handoff accountable.
Audit & assessment
We analyse your existing schema, query patterns, and backup procedures to identify risks and optimisation opportunities.
Design or redesign
Schema design with normalisation, indexing strategy, and migration plan from legacy data.
Implementation
Schema deployment, index creation, and data migration with zero-downtime where possible.
Ongoing DBA
Monitoring, backup verification, performance tuning, and patch management on retainer.
What you get
Concrete artefacts and outcomes handed to your team at the close of every engagement.
