Ultimate PostgreSQL Support Plan

PostgreSQL expertise — exactly when you need it

You may not need a full-time DBA, but you still need expert guidance when things get complicated.
Our PostgreSQL Support Plan gives your team a direct line to seasoned professionals — for the moments where clarity, precision, and experience matter.

Whether you’re running a lean infrastructure at an early-stage startup or scaling a payments platform across multiple services, we help your team stay in control while avoiding costly mistakes.

What’s Included

60 hours per year, up to 20 hours/month
Ticket support for up to 10 PostgreSQL servers
24-hour SLA (during working hours: Mon–Fri, 08:00–17:00 CET)
Ticket support is provided via Jira ITSM portal
€6,000/year (excl. VAT)

Each request is handled in a Q&A format and rounded to 30-minute increments.
No system access required — your team stays hands-on, we provide the expert direction.

What We Help With

We support your team across key PostgreSQL operational areas — the same challenges your engineers and sysadmins face day to day:

Query tuning & performance: EXPLAIN plans, indexing, joins, rewrites
Configuration best practices: memory tuning, WAL setup, autovacuum, connection limits
Backup & recovery: choosing tools, planning retention, avoiding false confidence in pg_dump
Bloat analysis: diagnosing and reducing table/index bloat
Security recommendations: privileges, roles, basic audit monitoring
Incident post-mortems: RCA based on your monitoring and test data
Upgrade guidance: what to expect, compatibility gotchas
Tool support: pgBackRest, Patroni, PostGIS, pgvector, and other commonly used extensions

When your question crosses into “this needs a deeper investigation,” we’ll flag it clearly and you can switch to On-Demand Consulting if needed.

Why It Works

This plan is designed for technology teams that want to stay in control while ensuring access to deep PostgreSQL expertise.
It’s not an outsourced DBA model or a one-size-fits-all support contract.
Instead, it delivers targeted, high-value guidance that supports your team’s existing capabilities — when and where it matters most.

You are a confident Linux user and know how to perform basic system administration (Ubuntu/Debian/RedHat).
Have general understanding of database theory.
Have basic knowledge of shell scripting (writing screens-lengthy scripts that will be understandable to other admins and to yourself a few months later).
You can write and especially read complex (and very complex) SQL queries.
You are a keen learner and eager to discover new solutions to old problems.

Important: This is a client facing role and the ability to communicate your actions and be able to reason with client is imperative.

What skills would be a plus?

Working knowledge of German would be a plus.
Familiarity with Patroni.
Experience with PostgreSQL in cloud (AWS, RDS etc.)
Familiarity with some DevOps tools such as Ansible/Docker/Kubernetes.
