The layer everything else depends on
Most systems that are slow, fragile, or expensive to change have a database problem underneath. We design schemas that hold up, tune queries that have outgrown their indexes, migrate data off platforms that should have been retired years ago, and build the reporting layers that let people answer questions without exporting to a spreadsheet. This is also the backbone of the legacy modernization work that federal and state systems need most.
- Oracle and PL/SQL depth
- Migration off legacy platforms
- Query tuning and indexing
- Reporting and analytics layers
Platforms and work
We work across Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. Typical engagements look like this:
- Schema design and data modeling
- PL/SQL development and refactoring
- Query and index performance work
- Migration and data conversion between platforms
- Reporting layers and views
- Database developers and administrators placed on your team
How we work
We measure before we change anything. A slow system usually has two or three queries responsible for most of the pain, and finding them is cheaper than a redesign. When a migration is genuinely needed we plan it in stages with a rollback at every step, because a data migration that cannot be reversed is a bet, not a plan.
- Measure first, change second
- Staged migrations with rollback at each step
- Documented schema and change history
- Knowledge transfer so your team can maintain it
Engage us for a database developer or administrator on your team, a migration off a legacy platform, or performance work on a system that has outgrown its original design.
