Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q.How is this different from hiring a full-time DBA?
With Stormatics, you get a flexible team of PostgreSQL-certified DBAs with decades of experience, available 24×7. You avoid hiring costs, delays, and knowledge gaps while gaining enterprise-grade expertise on demand.
Q. What kind of support does the service include?
The service covers performance tuning, uptime monitoring, incident response, backups, failover management, and routine database maintenance, all backed by SLA-based support – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Q. Can this service scale with my business?
Yes, our DBA as a Service model adapts to your needs, whether you are expanding or lessening your operations.
Q. When might you need DBA as a Service (DBAaaS)?
DBA as a Service is ideal for organizations facing resource or skills gaps in database management. Typical scenarios include:
- No Dedicated DBA: There is no one formally responsible for database administration, and no budget for a full-time DBA. This is high risk, as untrained staff often struggle with disaster recovery or performance issues.
- Single DBA: One person holds all the database knowledge or has been assigned DBA tasks without formal training. This creates risk during sick leave, vacations, or emergencies where expert recovery is needed.
- Overloaded DBA Team: Your in-house DBA team spends most of its time on routine maintenance instead of high-impact business projects. DBAaaS can take over BAU tasks or provide additional resources to help deliver critical projects faster.
Q. How does it improve cost efficiency?
You only pay for what you need. With predictable pricing, no recruitment overhead, and reduced risk of downtime or misconfiguration, the service helps lower the total cost of ownership while boosting database reliability.
Q. Will Stormatics work with our existing setup?
Absolutely, we work with your current PostgreSQL environment. No mandatory rearchitecture.
Q. Who is this service best suited for?
It is ideal for engineering teams that need production-grade Postgres stability but cannot hire an in-house DBA.
Q. Can you manage high availability and disaster recovery for high workloads?
Yes. Our team specializes in HA and DR for PostgreSQL, including automated failover, replication monitoring, and quarterly DR testing. We design and maintain clusters to meet strict uptime SLAs.
Q. How does DBA-as-a-Service help reduce cloud costs?
We optimize query performance, storage configurations, and replication strategies to avoid unnecessary overprovisioning. This means you scale your resources based on actual workload requirements, which results in directly lowering your cloud spend.
Q. Can you take over from an existing DBA team or vendor?
Yes. We routinely work alongside in-house teams or replace existing vendors. Our engagement starts with a detailed health check and transition plan to ensure zero disruption to ongoing operations.
Q. What does 24×7 SLA-based support include for DBA as a Service?
It includes proactive monitoring, incident detection, and immediate response to performance degradation, replication lag, or downtime risk. Our follow-the-sun model ensures your database is monitored at all times.
Q.Can you handle major version upgrades or migrations?
Yes. We manage upgrades, hotfixes, and complex migrations while maintaining uptime. For mission-critical environments, we use tested, zero-downtime strategies.
Q. How quickly can you start?
Most customers are onboarded within days. Initial health checks, monitoring, and backup configurations are typically set up in the first week, allowing immediate stabilization of production workloads.
