Service Detail
Database Management
Database architecture, optimisation, and management for businesses where data accuracy and speed are non-negotiable.
What we solve
Overview
Your database is the foundation everything else depends on
Slow queries, inconsistent data, failed migrations, and poor schema design create compounding problems across every system that touches your database. Reports take too long to run. Applications become unreliable under load. Data discrepancies create downstream errors in operations, finance, and compliance. Aron Tech provides database engineering for businesses where data accuracy and performance are non-negotiable. We design schemas that model your business correctly, optimise queries and indexes for the load you actually have, and manage databases in production with proper backup, recovery, and monitoring in place.
What's Included
Database problems that cost businesses money
Slow query performance
Reports and application queries that take minutes when they should take seconds — slowing every team that depends on that data.
Poor schema design
Data models that worked for the original use case but are now causing duplication, anomalies, and integrity failures as the business has grown.
Failed or risky migrations
Production database migrations done without proper planning, rollback procedures, or testing — creating risk every time schema changes.
No backup and recovery plan
Databases without tested backup procedures — businesses discover this is a problem only after they need to restore from one.
Uncontrolled data growth
Tables growing without archiving strategies, causing performance degradation and storage costs that increase month over month.
Inconsistent data across systems
The same entity represented differently in different tables or databases, requiring manual reconciliation to produce accurate reports.
Overview
Database engineering with a production mindset
We treat database work as engineering — not administration. Schema design decisions are made with referential integrity, query patterns, indexing strategy, and data growth in mind. Optimisation work starts with profiling real query patterns, not guessing. Migration work includes tested rollback plans and production deployment procedures. We work with PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, MongoDB, Redis, and DynamoDB — choosing the right tool for the data model and access patterns required.
What's Included
What we do
Database design and architecture
Normalised schema design, data modelling for your business domain, and architecture decisions for relational, document, or hybrid approaches.
Performance optimisation
Query profiling, index design, execution plan analysis, and query rewriting for databases that are slow under real load.
Migration and refactoring
Safe schema migrations with rollback plans, zero-downtime migration strategies, and post-migration validation.
Backup and disaster recovery
Automated backup configuration, tested recovery procedures, point-in-time recovery, and RTO/RPO planning.
Monitoring and alerting
Database performance monitoring, slow query logging, connection pool monitoring, and alerts for anomalies before they become incidents.
Security and access control
Role-based database access, encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging, and vulnerability assessment.
How It Works
Our database engagement process
Audit and assessment
We review your current schema, query performance, indexing strategy, backup procedures, and identify the highest-impact improvement areas.
Prioritised improvement plan
We document findings with a prioritised list of changes, estimated impact for each, and a recommended implementation order.
Implementation in safe stages
We apply changes in controlled stages — testing each in a staging environment before applying to production with monitoring in place.
Performance validation
After optimisation or restructuring, we validate query performance against the baseline and confirm improvements meet targets.
What's Included
Database work across industries
Financial services
High-accuracy transaction databases, audit trail schemas, reconciliation-ready data models, and compliance-grade access controls.
Healthcare
Patient record schemas, clinical data warehouses, HIPAA-compliant access controls, and audit logging for medical data.
Logistics and operations
High-volume operational databases for order management, inventory, and shipment tracking with performance tuned for real-time queries.
Retail and e-commerce
Product catalogue databases, transaction schemas, inventory models, and analytics layers for large product ranges and order volumes.
Telecommunications
Subscriber data management, event logging at scale, and billing-system data models for large telco datasets.
Education platforms
Student data models, assessment schemas, learning progress tracking, and multi-tenant database architectures for SaaS platforms.
What's Included
Why choose Aron Tech for database management
Engineers, not just DBAs
We understand the application context that drives your database requirements — not just SQL syntax.
Technology-agnostic
We work with the database technology you have, and recommend the right one if you're making a new choice.
Staging before production
Every migration and schema change is tested in a staging environment with a documented rollback plan before touching production.
Performance profiling, not guessing
We profile real query workloads and use execution plans to find the actual bottleneck — not apply generic indexing rules.
Proactive monitoring
We set up monitoring that alerts on degradation before users notice — not reactive firefighting after something breaks.
Complete documentation
Every database we work on is documented — schema, relationships, indexes, backup procedures, and access controls.
