Service Overview

We design data layers that stay correct and stay fast as your data grows, which are two different problems. Correctness comes from a schema that models your domain honestly, constraints and foreign keys enforced in the database rather than hoped for in application code, transaction boundaries chosen deliberately, and migrations that can run against a live system without downtime. Speed comes later and from evidence: query plans read rather than guessed at, indexes designed for actual access patterns instead of added hopefully, connection pooling sized to real concurrency, and partitioning or read replicas introduced when the numbers justify them rather than pre emptively. Most of our work is PostgreSQL, including the parts teams underuse such as partial and covering indexes, row level security for multi tenant isolation, native partitioning for time series data, and full text and vector search that avoids adding a separate system. We also handle the operational half: backup strategy verified by restoring, point in time recovery, and upgrade paths.

Step-by-step

Our Delivery Process

We use an agile, transparent process to ensure your project is completed on time and meets exactly your needs.

01

Data and query audit

We review entities, access patterns, slow queries, current schema, storage costs, and product workflows that depend on reliable data.

2-4 days
02

Architecture and migration plan

We design the target schema, indexes, cache boundaries, storage layout, migration sequence, rollback plan, and observability checklist.

3-5 days
03

Implementation and optimization

We implement migrations, ORM models, indexes, cache rules, storage policies, and performance fixes in staged pull requests.

1-3 weeks
04

Load testing and handoff

We validate query performance, backup restore paths, monitoring alerts, and operational runbooks before production release.

2-5 days
Why Us

Why Choose SoftwareCrafting?

  • Faster dashboards, APIs, search, and reporting workflows
  • Lower risk migrations with rollback and validation plans
  • A data model your product can grow into without constant rewrites
  • Better backup, retention, and restore confidence
  • Clear ownership boundaries between database, cache, search, and object storage
  • Reduced cloud spend from cleaner indexes and storage policies
  • Invariants enforced where application bugs cannot bypass them
  • Migrations that run against production without downtime
  • Indexes designed from query plans rather than added hopefully
  • Tenant isolation enforced by the database, not by every query
  • Backups you have proven work, because you restored from them
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you fix a slow existing database?

Yes. We start with query logs, indexes, schema shape, ORM usage, cache behavior, and the slowest user-facing workflows. Then we ship targeted fixes instead of proposing a risky rewrite first.

PostgreSQL or MongoDB - which should we choose?

PostgreSQL is usually best for relational business data, reporting, transactions, and complex permissions. MongoDB can be useful for flexible documents, rapid iteration, and content-like data. We choose based on your access patterns, not hype.

Do you handle production migrations?

Yes. We plan expand-and-contract migrations, backfills, validation scripts, feature flags, and rollback paths so production data can move without downtime.

Can you add backups and disaster recovery?

Yes. We configure backup schedules, retention, restore testing, point-in-time recovery where available, storage policies, and a runbook your team can follow during incidents.

Our queries have got slow. Where do you start?

With measurement, not guesses. We find the queries actually consuming time using pg_stat_statements, read their execution plans, and fix causes in order of impact. The usual findings are missing or wrong indexes, N plus one query patterns from the ORM, queries fetching far more data than needed, and connection pool exhaustion masquerading as slow queries.

Can you migrate our schema without downtime?

Yes, using the expand and contract pattern. Add the new structure, backfill in batches that do not lock the table, write to both old and new while deploying application changes, switch reads, then remove the old structure once nothing depends on it. It takes more steps than a single migration but avoids a maintenance window.

Do we need a separate search engine or vector database?

Often not. PostgreSQL full text search covers a great many application search requirements, and pgvector handles similarity search well into the millions of vectors. Keeping search in the same database means one system to operate, and it lets you filter by permissions and metadata in the same query. We move to a dedicated system when the numbers genuinely justify it.

How should we handle multi tenant data isolation?

For most SaaS products, shared tables with a tenant column and row level security policies, so isolation is enforced by the database rather than depending on every query being written correctly. Schema per tenant suits smaller tenant counts with strong isolation requirements. Database per tenant suits enterprise deployments with compliance requirements and few tenants. We pick on tenant count and isolation requirements.
