Database Administration (DBA)
Proactive database tuning, query optimization, replication management, and backup verification.
What this is
Specialized DBA support for PostgreSQL and MySQL databases. We tune configuration parameters, manage replication topologies, monitor query latencies, and guarantee reliable recovery points.
How it works
- 1Analyze database slow query logs to identify missing indexes and expensive joins.
- 2Tune memory buffers (shared_buffers, innodb_buffer_pool_size) to fit physical RAM.
- 3Establish and monitor streaming replication to secondary standby instances.
- 4Execute routine VACUUM / OPTIMIZE operations to reclaim storage and prevent bloat.
What's included
| Engines | PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB |
| Performance | Slow query logging and index recommendations |
| Replication | Primary-replica setup with health monitoring |
| Maintenance | Automated vacuuming and table optimization |
Suitability assessment
✓ When this makes sense
- •Applications where slow database queries are degrading user experience.
- •Databases growing rapidly that require architectural partitioning and index maintenance.
✕ When it doesn't
- •Small static sites with negligible database queries.
Technical details & architecture deep-dive▾
Deep configuration of PostgreSQL pg_stat_statements, connection pooling via PgBouncer, and MySQL performance_schema inspection to pin down query latency spikes.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. We inspect query execution plans (EXPLAIN ANALYZE) and recommend appropriate indexing and schema adjustments.
