Backup, PITR & DR
Automated full + incremental, tested restores weekly, cross-region replicas. RPO 5 min, RTO 15 min. Survive ransomware and human DROP.
Zero-Downtime Migration
MySQL 5.7→8.0, Oracle→Postgres, on-prem→AWS RDS / Aurora / Cloud SQL / Azure. DMS, Debezium, Gh-ost with rollback plan.
Security & Compliance
Hardening, encryption at rest, audit logs, SOC2 / HIPAA / PCI-DSS readiness. Vulnerability patching without downtime.

FAQ — quick answers
Do you work with our cloud or on-prem?
Both. AWS RDS/Aurora, GCP Cloud SQL, Azure SQL, plus bare-metal, VMware and Kubernetes (CloudNativePG, Percona Operator). We connect via VPN/SSM, no risky open ports.
Will there be downtime during tuning or migration?
No. We use online schema change tools (gh-ost, pt-osc), blue-green replicas and tested rollback. 92% of our maintenances are fully invisible to users.
Who owns access and passwords?
You do. We use your Vault/IAM with least-privilege roles, MFA and audit logs. Offboarding in one click.
Can you reduce our RDS bill?
Almost always. Right-sizing, graviton, reserved instances, killing idle replicas and query fixes save clients 30-55% on average.
