Once your databases have been audited and your team trained you will be moved to a subscription-based support. During this phase our DBA will be around to answer any questions and support in the following:

Questions related to database and OS configuration
Basic query optimisation
Questions that do not require an in-depth investigation
Post factum analysis of database outages (during working hours)
Autohealthcheck reports review (we notify you of any abnormalities)

During the Ongoing support (Phase 2) we answer any questions via email with up to 24 hours response time.

If you are interested in shorter response times we suggest our 24/7 PostgreSQL Support services.

Database Access: Data Egret PostgreSQL cover can be provided with or without access to databases, however without database access addressing any issues requires more time and therefore is less cost-effective process.
