Database
PostgreSQL
The world's most advanced open-source relational database — and our database of choice for mission-critical systems. We design, optimize, and operate PostgreSQL at any scale.
Why PostgreSQL?
PostgreSQL combines ACID compliance, powerful SQL, rich extension ecosystem (PostGIS, pgvector, TimescaleDB), and exceptional reliability with strong open-source governance. It handles OLTP workloads, analytical queries, JSON documents, full-text search, and now vector similarity search — all in one system.
Our PostgreSQL Services
- Schema Design & Data Modeling — Normalized schemas, appropriate use of JSONB, partitioning strategies, and table inheritance for complex domains.
- Query Optimization — EXPLAIN ANALYZE deep-dives, index design (B-tree, GIN, GiST, BRIN), and query rewriting for 10x–100x speedups.
- Replication & High Availability — Streaming replication, Patroni-based automatic failover, and read replica routing.
- Connection Pooling — PgBouncer setup and tuning to handle thousands of application connections efficiently.
- Migrations & Upgrades — Zero-downtime schema migrations with pgroll or expand-contract patterns, and major version upgrades.
- Extensions — pgvector for AI workloads, PostGIS for geospatial data, TimescaleDB for time-series, pg_partman for partitioning.
- Backup & PITR — WAL archiving, point-in-time recovery with pgBackRest or Barman, and regular recovery testing.
PostgreSQL for AI Applications
With the pgvector extension, PostgreSQL is now a first-class vector database — storing embeddings alongside relational data in a single system. We build RAG systems, semantic search, and recommendation engines on top of PostgreSQL's vector capabilities, eliminating the operational complexity of running a separate vector store.
