PostgreSQL Database Services
CADENTIC designs, builds and runs PostgreSQL for businesses that want an open-source database with enterprise reliability. Whether you are starting fresh, inheriting an existing cluster or moving off Oracle, our database engineers take care of installation, day-to-day administration, tuning, high availability and migration, so your team can focus on the application.
1Fresh Installation and Architecture
We plan and build PostgreSQL environments sized for your workload, on physical servers, KVM virtual machines or the cloud.
- Capacity and layout planning: storage, memory and connection sizing, tablespaces and file-system choices.
- Hardened installation: current supported PostgreSQL versions, secure defaults and documented configuration.
- Connection management: PgBouncer connection pooling for busy applications.
- Build pods: a dedicated team that delivers a complete database platform for a new project.
2Administration and Maintenance
Proactive, scheduled care keeps PostgreSQL healthy.
- Routine maintenance: vacuum and autovacuum tuning, statistics, bloat control and index maintenance.
- Monitoring and alerting: availability, replication lag, disk growth, long-running queries and locks.
- Upgrades and patching: minor updates and major-version upgrades with tested rollback plans.
- Active maintenance cycles: regular health reviews with clear recommendations.
3Performance Tuning
We find and fix what slows your database down.
- Query analysis: execution plans,
pg_stat_statementsand slow-query logs. - Indexing strategy: the right B-tree, GIN, GiST or BRIN indexes, and removal of unused ones.
- Configuration: memory, checkpoints, WAL and parallelism tuned to your hardware and workload.
- Schema review: partitioning, data types and design changes that scale.
4High Availability, Replication and Backup
Your data stays available and recoverable.
- Streaming replication: synchronous or asynchronous standbys, with read replicas where useful.
- Automatic failover: cluster management with tools such as Patroni.
- Backup and recovery: physical and logical backups with point-in-time recovery, using tools such as pgBackRest.
- Tested disaster recovery: documented and rehearsed restore procedures against agreed recovery targets.
5Oracle to PostgreSQL Migration
We move Oracle workloads to open-source PostgreSQL without losing data or functionality.
- Assessment: compatibility analysis and a migration plan with effort and risk.
- Schema conversion: tables, constraints, sequences and data types converted with schema conversion tools.
- Code rewriting: complex PL/SQL rewritten into PL/pgSQL, with packages, triggers and procedures reworked where needed.
- Data migration and validation: bulk and incremental data movement with data-parity checks for a zero-loss cut-over.
- Post-migration tuning: indexing and configuration optimised for PostgreSQL.
6Security and Compliance
- Access control: roles, least-privilege grants, row-level security and authentication rules.
- Encryption: TLS for connections and encrypted storage and backups.
- Auditing: activity logging with extensions such as pgAudit.
- Patching: timely security updates.
7How We Work With You
Start with a PostgreSQL health check, choose ongoing maintenance and support, or bring in a dedicated engineering pod for a build or migration. See our pricing or contact us to discuss your environment.
