PostgreSQL

Work with PostgreSQL experts

We design and operate PostgreSQL systems that stay fast and reliable under load, well-modelled schemas, tuned queries and robust, observable data platforms.

This is for teams whose data on PostgreSQL has outgrown its current setup and who need modelling, performance, and reliability that hold up under load.

Custom PostgreSQL Development Services

We design and operate PostgreSQL systems that hold their speed, correctness, and availability even as the data piles up. Sound data modelling, tuned queries, and resilient operations are the priorities, a data platform your applications can lean on at any hour.

We design normalised, constraint-backed PostgreSQL schemas around your real access patterns, choosing the right types, partitioning strategy, and indexes so data stays correct and queries stay fast as tables grow into the billions of rows.

How we help

We model for how the data is read and written, lean on Postgres-native features like check constraints, exclusion constraints, and generated columns, and document the design so it stays coherent as the app evolves.

We hunt down slow PostgreSQL queries with EXPLAIN ANALYZE and pg_stat_statements, fixing bad plans, missing or bloated indexes, N+1 patterns, and lock contention that only surface under production load.

How we help

We profile real query patterns against real data, redesign indexing (B-tree, GIN, BRIN, partial, covering) where it pays, and verify each change against production-like traffic.

We set up PostgreSQL for resilience, streaming and logical replication, automated failover with Patroni, and read scaling so the database survives node loss, upgrades, and traffic spikes without data loss.

How we help

We design the replication topology and failover strategy for your RPO/RTO targets, then rehearse failure scenarios so availability is proven rather than assumed.

We put PostgreSQL's extension ecosystem to work. PostGIS for geospatial, pgvector for AI similarity search, TimescaleDB for time-series, so you consolidate specialised workloads onto one dependable engine instead of running a zoo of databases.

How we help

We select and tune extensions to fit the workload, benchmark them against alternatives, and keep upgrade paths clear so the stack stays maintainable.

We move data onto PostgreSQL and upgrade major versions without downtime, online schema changes, logical-replication cutovers, and careful validation while active development continues.

How we help

We use online migration tooling, back up and rehearse every step, and roll out in reversible phases so migrations happen alongside delivery, not instead of it.

We make PostgreSQL operable, pgBackRest or Barman backups, tested point-in-time recovery, and observability with Grafana and auto_explain that catches problems before users do.

How we help

We automate backups and rehearse restores, define recovery objectives, and wire in metrics and alerting on the signals that actually predict incidents.

PostgreSQL experts, AI-augmented

These are the AI coding tools our engineers use to ship faster and keep code clean, distinct from the AI systems we design and build for you.
