Diagram: High availability. Text version below.
Text version of this diagram
  • Application → Primary database
  • Primary database → Standby database (replication)
  • Primary database → Backups, restore-tested
  • Standby database → Application (takes over on failure)

Who it's for

  • Applications that are slow or keep timing out
  • Databases without tested backups
  • Teams without a database administrator

What you get

  • Performance review with fixes ranked by impact
  • High availability where needed
  • Backups with scheduled restore tests
  • Monitoring and on-call administration

Questions

How do we know backups work?
We restore them on a schedule and report the result.
Can you speed up a slow application?
Often, yes: most slowness is in a few queries or missing indexes.
Can you support a database we didn't install?
Yes, after a health check of its configuration, backups and security.
