Database

Database Services

Expert administration, tuning and protection for Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Amazon Aurora and MySQL - on-premises, in the cloud or both.

One team for your whole database estate

Most organizations run more than one database engine: SQL Server for core business applications, PostgreSQL or MySQL for web and open-source workloads, and managed cloud services such as Azure SQL, Amazon RDS and Aurora. Experts Infotech manages them all with consistent standards for monitoring, backups, security, change control and documentation.

Our DBAs focus on the fundamentals that prevent outages - verified backups, capacity planning, patching, and alerting that reaches the right person - and on the tuning and architecture work that keeps applications fast as data grows.

Choose fully managed 24x7 operations, co-managed support alongside your team, or on-demand help for specific projects such as upgrades, performance problems or audits.

Database servers and monitoring dashboards in a modern data center

Microsoft SQL Server 2016 - 2025

SQL Server services

Deep expertise across Developer, Standard and Enterprise editions, Always On, clustering, backup and disaster recovery, performance tuning with Query Store, security hardening and version upgrades. SQL Server 2016 reached the end of extended support in July 2026 - if you still run it, now is the time to plan an upgrade.

Open-source and cloud-native engines

PostgreSQL, Amazon Aurora & MySQL

PostgreSQL & Aurora PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL is a powerful, standards-compliant open-source database with a rich extension ecosystem, including PostGIS for spatial data and pgvector for AI embeddings. PostgreSQL 18 (2025) added asynchronous I/O, B-tree skip scans, uuidv7(), OAuth authentication and faster major upgrades that retain planner statistics.

  • Installation, configuration and tuning (memory, autovacuum, connection pooling)
  • Streaming and logical replication, Patroni-based HA and backups with point-in-time recovery
  • Query tuning with EXPLAIN ANALYZE and pg_stat_statements
  • Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL and Aurora PostgreSQL, including Global Database and Serverless v2
  • Major version upgrades and security hardening (SCRAM authentication, TLS, roles)

MySQL & Aurora MySQL

MySQL powers many web and SaaS applications. MySQL 8.0 reached end of life in April 2026, so upgrading to the 8.4 long-term support release (or a newer LTS release) is a priority for many teams. We plan and test these upgrades to avoid surprises from changed defaults and removed features.

  • InnoDB tuning, schema and index optimization, slow query analysis
  • Replication, Group Replication and InnoDB Cluster for high availability
  • Backup and point-in-time recovery strategies
  • Amazon RDS for MySQL and Aurora MySQL operations and cost optimization
  • Upgrades from 5.7 and 8.0, and migrations to or from other engines

What every engagement includes

Monitoring

Availability, performance, capacity and job monitoring with actionable alerts.

Recoverability

Backup policies aligned to RPO/RTO, with regular test restores.

Security

Patching, least-privilege access, encryption and auditing.

Documentation

Runbooks, configuration baselines and regular health reports.
