How Can We Help?

PostgreSQL Managed Services

WellData offers PostgreSQL managed services for constant proactive PostgreSQL database support. This service covers all your database’s business-as-usual (BAU) requirements on an ongoing basis.

We’re also able to provide a complete support package for not only your PostgreSQL Database, but also the full range of popular databases and servers, including MySQL, MariaDB, Linux, Unix, Oracle, and SQL Server.

Our PostgreSQL managed services are based on a fixed-price concept and include, where needed, out-of-hours technical cover for your critical production systems.

Once you have selected the level of PostgreSQL managed services support and cover you need, you’ll never have to worry about resourcing BAU support again.

Why Choose WellData’s PostgreSQL Support?

As your data and, subsequently, your databases become more important, so do the skills and availability of PostgreSQL managed services database support engineers.

Trying to find these scarce resources yourself can be time-consuming and tedious.

Even if you do find the right resources, they’re often expensive and in high demand.

Worse still, do you actually have the workload to keep these staff fully occupied?

If not, they may leave to find more fast-paced work elsewhere, leaving you back at square one!

This is where WellData comes in.

We provide the highest level of technical resources for even the smallest of our clients, who may only have a few critical databases.

The cost of hiring even a single DBA is often beyond their budget.

For our larger clients with a multi-technology estate, we have the range of skills necessary to encompass all the support requirements needed at the highest possible skill levels.

Providing true overnight cover for this multi-technology estate can now be achieved without the need for a huge, expensive in-house database support team.

We structure our PostgreSQL managed services at a fixed price, once we know what will be under our care and what level of support you need.

And when you need project work performed, like builds, migrations, and consolidations, these are also quoted on a fixed price basis.

PostgreSQL Platforms Covered

WellData is neutral regarding the placement of the databases under its care.

Regardless of the platform hosting the database, the same high levels of PostgreSQL DB support are employed.

  • On-premise running on Linux or Unix (with optional server support)
  • PostgreSQL In-the-Cloud
  • Containerized within Docker or Kubernetes (K8)
  • PostgreSQL on Amazon on EC2 instance or RDB (AWS)
  • PostgreSQL cloud environment in Azure

PostgreSQL Options

PostgreSQL provides a range of useful advanced features.

We can provide advice and support for these features as part of our standard support model.

  • PostGIS
  • Replication and High availability
  • Full-Text Search and Indexing
  • Views & Materialized Views
  • Replication
  • Partitioning & Inheritance
  • Data Import & Export

PostgreSQL Cloud Support

At some point, you will be thinking of migrating to the Cloud.

Changing platforms in such a major way is not simple; a lot of thought and planning should go into the whys, wherefores, and methods of moving what is probably a business-critical system onto Cloud infrastructure.

This migration could be a full, partial, or hybrid cloud solution to AWS, AWS RDB.

We are well-placed to assist with this journey, from initial strategy to migration planning and then to final execution.

Having performed a successful migration, we’re in the best position to provide the subsequent PostgreSQL cloud support, taking full advantage of the benefits of being cloud-based.

PostgreSQL Database Server Support

Not only can we provide PostgreSQL managed services, but we can also support the underlying server, creating a seamless support environment.

Server technologies supported by WellData include: Linux and Unix.

Support for Older PostgreSQL Versions

The current PostgreSQL is version 17. Support for version 11 ended on 9th November 2023.

When a database version comes to the end of its supported life, there are many reasons why it should be upgraded to a later, more featureful, and secure version supported by Oracle’s security patches and bug fixes.

Unfortunately, upgrading is not an option for some installations, but this is where our database managed services can help.

PostgreSQL Database Consolidation

The number of databases in an organisation can grow relentlessly over time. This affects the cost of support and, to some extent, overall reliability.

It then becomes necessary to consolidate these databases onto a smaller number of platforms, either physically or virtually.

However, the process of consolidating databases can present significant risks—change is risky!

To reduce this risk, an organisation needs the resources, skills, and experience to perform the consolidation in a planned and controlled way.

The problem is that any single organisation performs this type of exercise very rarely and probably doesn’t have the necessary resources, skills, or experience to handle it.

That is where our PostgreSQL consulting services can help.

This is our bread-and-butter skill set; we’ve performed consolidations for many clients across a wide range of industries.

If a specific consolidation has a difficult problem or challenge, there’s a very good chance that a member of our PostgreSQL consulting team has encountered it before.

Project Services

Part of the services portfolio available from WellData is database project work.

Projects generally follow a similar format: requirements gathering, preparation of a Statement of Work (SOW), quotation, acceptance and finally, execution and sign-off.

All projects are performed fixed-price.

  • Major version upgrades
  • Database health check
  • Query optimisation
  • PostgreSQL database migration and consolidation
  • PostgreSQL database architectural design, configuration, build and deployment
  • Stored procedure development
  • Data masking and encryption
  • General PostgreSQL consultancy
  • And more, just call…
