1. Analyzing Database Health
We conduct full database health checks to evaluate:
- Table bloat, vacuum issues, and WAL tuning
- Index usage and slow queries
- Transaction handling and lock contention
2. Schema Design & Refactoring
We review and refine your database schemas to:
- Normalize or denormalize tables based on access patterns
- Optimize constraints, indexes, and relationships
- Align data structures with PostgreSQL's performance best practices
3. Detecting & Repairing Corrupted Data Pages
Using tools like pg_checksums, pg_amcheck, and internal diagnostics, we:
- Identify corrupted data pages in real-time
- Restore data using physical backups or PITR
- Implement proactive integrity verification strategies
4. Performance Tuning & Query Optimization
We analyze query plans and execution strategies using:
- EXPLAIN, ANALYZE, and auto_explain
- pg_stat_statements and background activity reports
- Custom scripts for detecting dead tuples, unused indexes, and hotspots
5. Security & Compliance Review
We help secure your PostgreSQL database with:
- Access control audits and SSL/TLS configuration
- Role and privilege restructuring
- Data encryption, audit logging, and compliance checks
6. Disaster Recovery Strategy Planning
We assess your backup/recovery lifecycle and build:
- Reliable pgBackRest/Barman-based backup systems
- PITR (Point-in-Time Recovery) workflows
- Recovery pipelines tailored to your use case
7. Replication & High Availability Review
We audit and optimize your replication setup:
- Streaming/logical replication architecture
- Failover mechanisms with tools like Patroni or pg_auto_failover
- Monitoring lag and conflict resolution techniques
8. Version Upgrade & Migration Assistance
Whether you’re moving between PostgreSQL versions or from another DBMS, we provide:
- Compatibility audits and dry runs
- Minimal-downtime migration plans
- Custom scripts to validate data post-migration
