Database Design & Optimization
Engineered at 287-table scale
Our database design and optimization work makes data fast and dependable at scale. We have engineered and tuned a production system of 287 tables across a dual-database architecture — that is the depth we bring to your schema.
Overview
Slow software is usually a slow database. We design schemas for performance and growth and tune existing ones — adding the right indexes, rewriting expensive queries, and introducing caching and replication where they actually help.
On our fleet platform, application logic and high-volume GPS data live in a dual-database architecture with Redis caching, so heavy tracking traffic never drags down day-to-day operations. We apply that same separation-of-concerns thinking to keep your most-used queries quick.
What's Included
Everything we handle when you work with us on this.
Schema Design & Review
Relational schemas designed for query performance and growth, or a structured review and refactor of an existing one.
Query & Index Optimization
Profiling slow queries and adding or reshaping indexes so the database does less work for the same result.
Caching & Read Scaling
Redis caching and read replicas to take pressure off the primary database under heavy load.
Data Integrity & Migrations
Safe migrations and constraints that keep data consistent as the schema evolves.
Technologies & Tools
Who It's For
- Slow queries and laggy dashboards

Frequently Asked Questions
MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server, with Redis for caching. We work with relational databases at production scale across all three.
