Startups and growing web businesses:
Inception and growth periods are when database expertise is absolutely
crucial. There are core areas that can cost you tremendous amounts of
rework and money if you do not manage them as early as possible. We know
that time and money are rare resources in a startup environment and can
focus on the core components required for scale, flexibility and performance
as you grow. You don’t want to pay the salary of a full-time DBA if you can
avoid it and you don’t have to! Having been through these growth phases
numerous times, we can walk you through them at a fraction of the cost you
might expect.
How we work with outsourced services and hosting providers:
There are two types of DBA work. First is the day to day work of building,
monitoring, backing up and maintaining your database infrastructure. These
are core tasks that an outsourcer can provide well. They leverage benefits of
scale, well-tested and honed processes and collective years of experience.
The second is the marriage of application and database – the logical and
physical modeling of your data, scaling based on your data and access
patterns, SQL and server tuning and long-term growth and availability
planning. To do this well, you need a long-term partner who knows your
business, your architecture and your strategy, and who has the time to focus
on them.
