Database Administration.
Your database holds the authoritative state of your business. Every transaction, every account, every audit-relevant event lives there. Database Administration is the discipline of keeping that state available, consistent, fast, and recoverable — without which every other investment is at risk.
What this is.
Your database holds the authoritative state of your business. Every transaction, every account, every audit-relevant event lives there. Database Administration is the discipline of keeping that state available, consistent, fast, and recoverable — without which every other investment is at risk.
What's in scope.
- PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis administration
- Performance tuning and query optimization
- Replication and high-availability configuration
- Backup and point-in-time recovery
- Database migration and replatforming
- Database security and audit logging
How we do this.
Performance tuned, not just provisioned. Query optimization, index management, and configuration tuning typically reduce database load by 30–60% before hardware changes are needed.
High availability designed for real failure modes. Replicas, failover, and cross-region configurations designed around the failures actually likely to happen.
Backups tested monthly. Every backup is verified by actual restore — not by completion notifications.
Security at the database layer. Role-based access, encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging, and activity monitoring.
Replatform only when warranted. We are candid when a database replatform is not the solution to the problem the team thinks it is.
The stakes.
A corrupted database at 2 AM without a tested backup is not a technical problem. It is an existential one. Every engineering leader who has faced it remembers — and invests accordingly the next time.
