Database Architecture That Actually Works
We've spent the last eight years figuring out why some database setups fall apart under pressure while others just keep running. Let's talk about what your system really needs.
Schedule a DiscussionHow We Approach Your Database Problems
Most consultations start with someone telling us their database is "slow." But that's like saying your car makes a noise—there are about fifty different things it could be.
We spend the first session just listening. What broke? When does it happen? What were you trying to do when everything went sideways? Because a database that crawls during morning reports needs a different fix than one that chokes on batch processing at midnight.
One client in early 2025 came to us after their inventory system started timing out. Turned out their previous developer had created sixteen different indexes trying to speed things up—and accidentally made everything worse. We stripped it back to three indexes and suddenly queries that took 40 seconds were finishing in under two.
That's the kind of stuff you only learn by actually looking at the problem instead of throwing standard solutions at it.
What Actually Happens During Consultation
People always ask what they're paying for. Here's the breakdown—nothing fancy, just what we do and why it matters.
System Audit
We look at your current setup. Schema design, query patterns, indexing strategy. Takes about two hours and we'll find at least three things that could work better.
Load Analysis
How much data moves through your system? Peak times? Bottlenecks? We run tests to see where things actually slow down versus where you think they do.
Architecture Review
Is your database structure actually supporting what you're trying to build? Sometimes the answer is "mostly yes with these tweaks" and sometimes it's "we need to rethink this."
Optimization Plan
You get a document explaining what to fix first, what can wait, and what's honestly fine as-is. No technical jargon—just clear priorities and realistic timelines.
Implementation Support
We can either make the changes ourselves or guide your team through it. Either way, you're not left figuring things out alone after the consultation ends.
Follow-Up Check
Two weeks after changes go live, we check in. Did it work? Any new issues? This part's included because we actually want to know if our advice held up.
Who You'll Be Working With
These are the people who'll actually show up to your consultation. No junior staff, no handoffs—just experienced engineers who've fixed enough databases to know what works.
Brendan Kowalski
Senior Database Architect
Spent six years at a logistics company where a single slow query could cost thousands. Now helps businesses avoid those kinds of expensive mistakes.
Sienna Bergström
Performance Specialist
She's the one who figured out why that inventory system was dying. Has a weird talent for spotting inefficient joins from three rooms away.
Ready to Figure Out What's Going On?
First consultation is three hours. We'll look at your system, ask questions that might seem obvious but usually aren't, and give you a clear picture of what needs attention. No sales pitch—just honest assessment from people who do this every day.
