Have a virtual cloud database? You need a CloudDBA!
If you have an application on Heroku or similar PostgreSQL-as-a-Service platforms, you might not want a full-time database administrator. However, you do need a little help from time-to-time: answering SQL questions, migrations, design reviews, query troubleshooting, data access tuning, application design, data import, and other DBA tasks. That's why we're here.
Our staff are PostgreSQL experts: major contributors with an average of ten years of database experience. When you sign up with us, one of our DBAs will become your CloudDBA, whom you can rely on to learn your application and help you make it better. You also get the advantage of a staff of ten experts who can pitch in if your CloudDBA is away when you have an urgent issue.
We're also quite good at Python, Perl and shell, if you need it.
Our CloudDBA services are available for $250/hour billed monthly to your PO or credit card (we can get a lot done in one hour). However, we recommend cultivating an ongoing relationship with your CloudDBA so that they're there for you long-term. Our monthly plans are:
Plan | Cost/month | Max Hours | Extra Services |
A Little Help | $1000 | 10 | |
Resource | $2500 | 20 | Database activity monitoring |
Team Member | $5000 | 40 | Database activity monitoring Monthly performance reports* |
If this sounds like what you need, contact us and we'll get you set up with a CloudDBA today!
(* monthly performance reports are currently waiting on new features in the postgres.heroku.com administration API, on which we are working with Heroku)
