PostgreSQL Consulting
For challenges that go beyond a quick answer.
Have an experienced PostgreSQL DBA with over 10+ years of experience on your team without the overhead.
When to bring us in
Consulting can be purchased as a bundle of DBA hours, scoped to your project.
Here are a few examples:
🎯You're facing a major version upgrade
PostgreSQL major version upgrades aren't always straightforward. Deprecated features, extension compatibility, and the risk of post-upgrade performance regressions mean the planning phase matters as much as the execution.
We help you assess what needs attention before the upgrade and support the process end to end.
🎯You're building or reworking a CDC pipeline
Setting up change data capture for analytics, replication, or event streaming introduces PostgreSQL-specific considerations — WAL configuration, replication slot management, logical decoding, and upstream impact on your primary.
If you're evaluating tools, hitting unexpected behaviour, or designing a pipeline from scratch, we work through the specifics with you.
🎯You need a solid backup strategy
Many teams have a backup process in place but haven't fully validated it — untested restores, unclear recovery time objectives, or gaps in point-in-time recovery coverage. We review your current setup, identify the risks, and help you build a strategy you can actually rely on.
🎯Recurring performance issues
Something is slowing your system down, and it keeps coming back. You've made changes, things improve briefly, then the same symptoms return. Intermittent slowdowns, unpredictable query regressions, or load patterns that don't match what your monitoring suggests — these problems need a deeper investigation. We dig into the history of the issue, not just the current state, to find what's actually causing it and make sure the fix holds.
Depending on your needs, hours may be used as part of one of our structured engagements:
