Database Administration &
Performance Optimisation
MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and Redis tuned for production. Query optimisation, replication, backup strategies, and performance profiling for high-traffic applications.
Database Setup & Configuration
Fresh MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and Redis installations with production-hardened configuration — connection pooling, memory tuning, and security from day one.
Query & Index Optimisation
Slow query analysis, index design, execution plan review, and query rewriting — typically achieving 5–50x performance improvements on existing databases.
Replication & High Availability
Master-replica replication, read-replica scaling, and automatic failover — keeping your database available even during maintenance or hardware failure.
Backup & Point-in-Time Recovery
Automated daily backups, binary log retention for point-in-time recovery, and monthly restoration drills — documented RPO and RTO for compliance.
Database Migration
Zero-downtime migration between database engines, versions, or hosting providers. On-premises to cloud, MySQL to PostgreSQL, or cPanel-hosted to dedicated.
Monitoring & Alerting
Prometheus/Grafana dashboards for query performance, connection counts, replication lag, and disk usage — with alerting before problems become outages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Query optimisation, index additions, and most configuration changes can be applied without downtime. Schema changes requiring table locks are scheduled during low-traffic windows with minimal impact.
Yes — AWS RDS, Azure Database for MySQL/PostgreSQL, Google Cloud SQL, and DigitalOcean Managed Databases are all supported.
We use replication-based migrations: set up the new database, replicate from the old, switch the application connection string, and verify before stopping the old database. Rollback is available throughout.
Both — one-time fixes and optimisations as fixed-price tasks, or ongoing monthly DBA support with monitoring, updates, and priority incident response.
