Where we can help
When database problems become business problems
01 / Continuity
Outages disrupt critical operations
Strengthen availability and recovery around the downtime and data loss your business can accept.
02 / Performance
Slow applications hold back growth
Find what causes slow responses, delayed processing and rising resource use. Prioritize tuning and architecture changes around your workload.
03 / Migration
Your environment limits your options
Move to PostgreSQL infrastructure that fits your requirements. Plan around application dependencies, operational constraints and acceptable downtime.
04 / Security & support
Meet database security and support requirements
Identify gaps in database controls, operational evidence or support coverage. Plan improvements against your organization’s requirements.
Understand what needs attention first
PostgreSQL Health Check
Get a structured review of your PostgreSQL architecture, performance and configuration. Our specialists identify bottlenecks and operational risks, then provide recommendations so your team can prioritize improvements.

From restoring routine processing to strengthening continuity and moving beyond hosting constraints.
Fraîcheur de Paris / Performance
Automated compression, back on track
After a major backfill disrupted TimescaleDB compression, Stormatics validated a fix in staging and helped apply it in production. Automated compression resumed, reducing manual work.

Government cybersecurity / Continuity
Up to 3 outages a week, then zero downtime
Downtime fell to zero after Stormatics implemented a three-node PostgreSQL cluster, automatic failover and automated backups. Ongoing 24×7 SLA-based support followed.
Whop / Migration
Moving beyond hosting constraints
Whop moved PostgreSQL from Heroku to AWS EC2 in under ten minutes. Stormatics established replication, backup management and connection pooling to support the new environment.
Ventrata / Customer story

Frequently asked questions
Working with Stormatics
Find the right starting point for your PostgreSQL environment, your team and the work ahead.
How does DBA as a Service differ from helpdesk support?
DBA as a Service includes ongoing responsibilities such as monitoring, maintenance, performance tuning and recovery readiness. Helpdesk support focuses on responding to requests and troubleshooting. Your agreement defines the work Stormatics takes on.
Can you work alongside our existing DBA or engineering team?
Yes. Our PostgreSQL Forward Deployed Engineers work alongside your DBA or engineering team. We also support organizations without a dedicated DBA. We agree on ownership, access and escalation routes so responsibilities remain clear.
Can we engage Stormatics for a specific project?
Yes. PostgreSQL Forward Deployed Engineers work alongside your team on migrations, performance problems, architecture changes and upgrades through scoped two-week sprints. Priorities and delivery responsibilities are agreed upfront; engagement length depends on the work required.
Which PostgreSQL environments do you support?
We work across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments. We review your PostgreSQL version, distribution or managed platform, access requirements and operational constraints during scoping.
How is PostgreSQL support priced?
Support is priced per instance, with service scope and coverage agreed upfront. Adding CPU cores to an existing instance does not by itself increase its support fee. Project engagements are scoped separately.
What coverage and response commitments can we expect?
DBA as a Service provides 24×7 follow-the-sun coverage. Your support agreement defines the covered systems, responsibilities, escalation procedures and response commitments.
Can you work within our security and procurement requirements?
We discuss access, data handling, security and procurement requirements before work begins. We can review PostgreSQL security practices and help implement controls, with findings and documentation scoped to your requirements.
How do we get started?
Tell us about your environment, the challenge and its business impact. We’ll discuss whether ongoing management, a scoped project or a PostgreSQL Health Check is the right starting point.
