MySQL, PostgreSQL, structure

Hire database developers

Schema, queries and the data behind users, products and reports: structured so the product stays fast and the numbers stay right.

Hiring model that usually fits

Hourly based

Database work is often a focused fix or review. A product whose data keeps growing suits monthly.

Slow pages and wrong reports usually trace back to the database: a missing index, a query that runs a thousand times, or a structure that made sense for the first version and not the tenth.

A database developer designs the structure, tunes the queries that matter, and sets up backups and migrations so data changes are safe and repeatable.

Hire one when

  • Pages or reports get slower as data grows
  • Reports disagree with each other
  • You are moving to a new database or system

What they do day to day

  • Design tables, relations and indexes
  • Find and fix slow queries
  • Write migrations that change data safely
  • Build reporting queries and views
  • Set up backups and test restoring them
  • Move data between systems or databases

What you get

  • A schema that matches how the product works
  • Faster pages where queries were the bottleneck
  • Backups that have actually been restored
  • Migrations kept in the repository

Common questions

MySQL or PostgreSQL?

Both are solid relational databases. If you already run one, we work in it. For a new build, the choice depends on the data and the hosting.

When is MongoDB the right choice?

When data is naturally document-shaped and the structure changes often. For most business data with clear relations, a relational database is the better fit.

Can you speed up our existing database?

Usually. We look at the slowest queries first, since a few of them often cause most of the problem.

Need a database developer?

A few lines is enough to start. We reply by email, usually the same working day.
