Database Engineering & Modernization
Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and MongoDB — tuned, patched, backed up, and kept out of the incident channel.
FCS Database Services, End to End
From first health check to ongoing governance — everything we cover under Database Engineering & Modernization.
What's covered
Performance tuning
Query and index tuning that targets the specific bottleneck, not a blanket "add more hardware."
Backup & recovery
Tested backup strategies and recovery drills, so "restore" isn't a first attempt during an incident.
Replication & high availability
Multi-node and multi-region setups that keep reads and writes moving during maintenance or failure.
Migration & version upgrades
Moving between database engines or versions without a multi-day outage window.
Security & access hardening
Role-based access, encryption, and audit logging built into the database layer itself.
At a glance
Ideal for teams running production databases who need a DBA on call without a full-time hire.
Engines we runHow an engagement runs
Health check & baseline
We review schema, indexes, backup coverage, and current performance before changing anything.
Stabilize & tune
Fix the issues found — slow queries, missing indexes, untested backups — in priority order.
Ongoing administration
Continuous monitoring, patching, and tuning as your data and workload grow.
Frequently asked questions
Which database engines do you support?
Oracle, PostgreSQL, YugabyteDB, SQL Server, MySQL, and MongoDB. Most engagements involve at least two of these running side by side, which is typical once a company starts modernizing off a single legacy platform.
Can you migrate us between database engines without downtime?
For most workloads, yes — using replication-based cutover rather than a dump-and-restore, so the source stays live while the target catches up and the switch happens in a short maintenance window instead of a multi-day outage. The exact approach depends on the source and target engines.
Do you offer 24/7 on-call DBA support?
Yes, as part of ongoing engagements — production databases get monitored continuously, with an on-call engineer for incidents outside business hours, not just a ticket queue that gets picked up the next morning.
How is this different from just hiring a DBA?
A single in-house DBA covers one engine well and the rest by necessity. Our team splits by specialty across Oracle, PostgreSQL, and the rest, so you get depth on whichever database is actually causing the problem, without carrying a full-time headcount for each engine.
