Modern data platforms, classic DBA discipline
The same people who design your vector search also check your backups. Pick one service or combine them.
AI, RAG & vector search
Let people and applications ask questions of your own data, while the data stays in your database.
PERFPerformance tuning
Find out why a query is slow, then fix the cause, not the symptom.
HAHigh availability & scale-out
Clusters that fail over cleanly, at 3 a.m. too.
MIGRATEMigration & modernization
Move to a new version, platform or cloud with a tested cutover and a way back.
BACKUPBackup, recovery & ransomware resilience
A backup only counts if the restore works. We prove it does.
IaCCloud & automation
Database estates described as code, deployed the same way every time.
DEVDatabase development
Schemas, code and data flows that stay fast as volumes grow.
SECSecurity & compliance
Know who can see what, and prove it to an auditor.
OPSRemote DBA
A senior DBA on call when you need one, without a full-time hire.
Three ways to work together
Health check
A full review of one instance or cluster: configuration, performance, high availability, backups and security. You get a written report with findings ranked by risk and effort.
- Remote, read-only access
- Report and walkthrough call
- Fixed scope, agreed upfront
Project
Migrations, upgrades, new clusters, RAG prototypes. Clear scope, milestones and a cutover plan you review before anything changes.
- Written plan and rollback
- Milestone billing
- Full documentation
Retainer
A block of senior DBA hours every month for monitoring, tuning, patching and questions. The cost of a part-time expert instead of a full-time hire.
- Monthly hours, carried over
- Proactive health reviews
- Priority response
How a project runs
Assess
We measure before we change anything: waits, plans, sizes, backups, risks.
Plan
A written plan with options, costs, downtime windows and a rollback path.
Deliver
Changes in agreed windows, tested first outside production.
Hand over
Runbooks, scripts and documentation, so your team can run it without us.
Guides written from production
Practical PDF manuals for DBAs and developers, in English, French and Italian. The first titles are in preparation.

Not sure where the problem is?
Start with a health check. In a few days you know what is slow, what is at risk and what to fix first.
