Database (Including Data Warehouse and Data Lake) Administration (DBA) Services

In today’s data driven environment, databases are the backbone of business applications. Any performance issue, downtime, or data loss can directly impact revenue and customer trust.

Our DBA services are focused on keeping databases healthy, stable, and predictable, so organizations don’t have to worry about day-to-day database operations while running their business.

We don’t just react to problems, we try to prevent them.

Routine Database Management

A large part of database stability comes from consistent day-to-day care.

We handle regular operational activities such as:

Monitoring database availability and basic health
Watching storage usage and growth patterns
Reviewing logs and alerts for early warning signs
Performing routine maintenance tasks
Ensuring databases remain stable during peak usage

This helps avoid sudden issues and keeps production systems running smoothly.

Performance and Query Support

Slow applications often point back to database inefficiencies.

We support performance improvement by:

Reviewing slow or frequently executed queries
Checking index usage and identifying improvements
Understanding workload patterns
Adjusting database configurations where required
Working with application teams to resolve performance bottlenecks

The goal is not just speed, but consistent and reliable performance.

Backup and Recovery Readiness

Backups are only useful if they actually work when needed.

We assist organizations with:

Designing backup strategies based on business needs
Monitoring backup jobs and failures
Periodically validating restore procedures
Supporting data recovery during incidents
Assisting with disaster recovery planning and drills

This ensures data is protected and recovery is possible during real incidents, not just documented on paper.

Upgrades and Planned Changes

Database upgrades and changes always carry some risk if not handled carefully.

We help manage:

Database version upgrades and patching
Change planning and impact analysis
Coordination with application and infrastructure teams
Rollback planning in case something goes wrong
Post-change validation and monitoring

Our focus is on safe execution with minimal disruption.

Database Migration Support

Whether moving to the cloud or upgrading platforms, migrations need careful planning.

We support migrations by:

Reviewing the existing database environment
Planning the migration approach
Reducing downtime using replication where possible
Validating data after migration
Providing support once the migration is complete

Every migration is handled based on the organization’s environment, not a fixed template.

High Availability and Replication

For systems that require high uptime, we help design and manage resilient setups.

This includes:

Replication setup and monitoring
Failover and switchover planning
Regular checks to ensure DR readiness
Support during DR drills or actual incidents

The objective is to make sure systems can recover quickly when failures happen.

Security and Access Reviews

Many database security issues come from misconfigurations rather than attacks.

We help by:

Reviewing user access and permissions
Identifying unused or risky accounts
Supporting audit and compliance requirements
Advising on basic database hardening practices

This improves security without adding unnecessary operational complexity.

On-Demand DBA Support

Apart from regular operations, we also provide DBA support when urgent issues arise.

Typical situations include:

Production outages
Sudden performance issues
Failed upgrades or patches
Data recovery scenarios

Organizations get access to experienced DBAs when they need them, without maintaining large internal teams.

Supported Platforms

We work across widely used database technologies, including:

MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Amazon DocumentDB, and Redis
Cloud-managed database services such as AWS Aurora, AWS RDS, and Azure Database for MySQL, CosmosDB
On-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments

Support is aligned with how databases are actually used in production.

What Organizations Gain

Fewer unexpected database issues
Faster response and resolution times
Reduced operational risk
Better visibility into database health
Less dependency on firefighting

Our DBA services are about keeping databases reliable in the background, so applications and business teams can focus on what they do best. With consistent monitoring, practical experience, and a proactive approach, we help organizations run their databases with confidence.
