- Engagement
- Fixed scope
- Code ownership
- Yours
Slow applications are usually a handful of queries, not an underpowered database. Upgrading the instance hides that for a quarter and doubles the bill permanently.
We profile production, rank by total time rather than worst case, fix indexes and access patterns, and show the before-and-after numbers.
What you get
- Production query profiling ranked by total time consumed
- Index design, including the unused indexes slowing writes
- N+1 and access-pattern fixes in the application layer
- Connection pooling, cache and replica strategy where justified
- Before-and-after benchmarks under your real load
Who this is for
Applications that got slower as data grew and are one upgrade away from a big bill.
