Service

Database Design and Architecture

Your data is one of your most valuable assets, and the way it is structured affects everything built on top of it. We design and optimise relational databases that are reliable, secure and fast, and we plan migrations carefully when change is needed.

The challenge

Problems this service addresses.

  • Queries and reports are getting slower as your data grows.

  • Data is duplicated or inconsistent across tables or systems.

  • You are starting a new product and want the data model right from the beginning.

  • Backups, access control or recovery procedures are unclear or untested.

What it involves

How we deliver it.

Each engagement is tailored, but typically includes the following stages.
  1. 01

    Data modelling

    Designing schemas, relationships and constraints that reflect your domain.

  2. 02

    Performance tuning

    Indexing, query optimisation and analysis of slow workloads.

  3. 03

    Migration planning

    Safe, reversible migrations and data transformation between systems.

  4. 04

    Security & access

    Role-based permissions, encryption considerations and least-privilege access.

  5. 05

    Backup & recovery

    Backup strategies and documented restore procedures.

Potential benefits

  • Data you can trust

    Constraints and structure that help prevent inconsistent records.

  • Faster queries

    Better-performing reports and applications as volumes grow.

  • Lower risk

    Tested backups and clear procedures when things go wrong.

Typical deliverables

  • Entity-relationship diagrams and schema documentation
  • Database scripts and migrations
  • Performance review with recommendations
  • Backup and recovery procedure
  • Access control matrix

Exact deliverables are agreed during scoping and depend on each project.
