Database Design & Optimization
We design efficient database schemas, write Prisma migrations, optimize slow queries, and set up proper indexing strategies for PostgreSQL.
Bad database design leads to slow queries, data integrity issues, and painful migrations. By the time you notice, refactoring the schema affects your entire application.
We design normalized schemas with proper indexes, constraints, and relations from the start. For existing databases, we audit and optimize for performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you optimize my existing database?
Yes. We audit your schema, analyze slow queries with EXPLAIN ANALYZE, add missing indexes, and restructure queries for better performance.
PostgreSQL only?
PostgreSQL is our specialty and recommendation. We also work with MySQL/MariaDB and MongoDB when needed.
How much can query optimization improve?
Commonly 10x-100x for badly indexed queries. We've seen queries go from 30 seconds to 30 milliseconds with proper indexing.
Do you handle migrations for existing production databases?
Yes. We write and test migrations carefully, with rollback plans, and can execute them during maintenance windows for zero-downtime changes.
