PostgreSQL specialists for your dedicated team.
PostgreSQL is an open-source relational database known for correctness, extensibility and a strong feature set, with JSON storage, full-text search, geospatial types and window functions in the core product. It is a common default for new backend work and a common destination for migrations away from licensed databases.
Where PostgreSQL fits in a long-term product team.
Postgres often replaces two or three other components. Document storage, search and reporting queries can live in it up to a scale most products never exceed, which removes real operational surface from a small team. Adding a separate search cluster before Postgres has been outgrown is a common and expensive early decision.
What it does need is someone who owns it. Vacuum behaviour, connection limits, index bloat and long transactions are the recurring sources of incident, and none of them are visible until they are. A database with no owner degrades quietly for a year and then loudly in one afternoon.
What your dedicated team does with PostgreSQL.
A database gets its own owner around the point where the second engineer is afraid to change it. Before that, the application team can carry it; after that, deferred maintenance builds up out of sight and eventually surfaces as an incident.
In a dedicated team, database ownership is usually part of a full-time role within a dedicated data engineering team, alongside the pipeline work.
Common PostgreSQL use cases.
- Consolidating a sprawling data layer Search, documents and relational data in one system, so there is one thing to back up, monitor and understand.
- Migration from a licensed database Moving off per-core licensing, which is usually a schema and stored-procedure task more than a data one.
- Making growth survivable Partitioning, indexing and query work done before volume forces it.
Adding PostgreSQL skills to your team.
Where the database is the product's backbone, a database administrator is assigned to a dedicated data engineering team alongside the engineers building against it. What that figure covers is set out in how the monthly fee is built.
You can add PostgreSQL capacity as one dedicated specialist or as part of a wider remote team, managed by a service delivery manager from our offices in Thailand. Companies hire dedicated developers this way under one agreement and one monthly fee.
