PostgreSQL Expertise
We run your PostgreSQL estate with the same discipline as SQL Server: performance analysis, maintenance, replication, high availability, backup and version management, using methods and tools native to its ecosystem.
01Problems we solve
What organisations most often face in this area.
- P.01
Bloated tables and slowing queries
Autovacuum is not tuned to the workload; dead tuples (bloat) grow and plans degrade.
- P.02
Hitting the connection limit
Applications connect straight to the database; there is no connection pool, or it is sized wrongly.
- P.03
Replication lag and failover uncertainty
Standby lag is not monitored; nobody has defined what happens if the primary fails.
- P.04
Version and backup risk
Major versions out of support; point-in-time recovery (PITR) has never been tried.
02PostgreSQL architecture
Replication, pooling, archiving and automatic failover.
A typical production PostgreSQL design. Components are chosen to fit the workload and continuity targets.
Illustrative example — not real client data
↓ Streaming replication ↓
Maintenance board — table bloat
- order_linesNeeds tuning
- stock_movementsWatching
- customerHealthy
- session_logNeeds tuning
Relative dead-tuple ratio; autovacuum is tuned per table.
03Our approach
How we work.
01
Measure
pg_stat_statements, the pg_stat_* views and logs give the workload and wait profile.
02
Maintenance and configuration
Autovacuum, memory and checkpoint settings are tuned to the workload; bloat is brought under control.
03
Continuity
Streaming replication, automatic failover and WAL-archived backups are built and tested.
04
Ongoing management
A version plan, monitoring and regular health checks bring the estate into operations.
04Technical scope
Engineering depth.
Performance
- pg_stat_statements analysis
- Plan review with EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)
- Index strategy (B-tree, GIN, BRIN, partial indexes)
- Connection pooling
Maintenance and administration
- Autovacuum and statistics tuning
- Bloat monitoring and removal
- Role, schema and privilege management
- Major version upgrades (pg_upgrade, logical replication)
Replication, HA and backup
- Streaming replication (synchronous / asynchronous)
- Logical replication
- Automatic failover with a cluster manager
- WAL archiving and point-in-time recovery (PITR)
05Value to the organisation
What changes for management.
Equal depth
PostgreSQL estates are run to the same standard, on-call rotation and reporting as SQL Server.
Predictable performance
Because maintenance and configuration fit the workload, performance does not decay over time.
Proven continuity
Failover and failback are rehearsed; target data loss and recovery time are known.
