PostgreSQL managed services
PostgreSQL managed services is the ongoing administration, performance optimization, and expert support of PostgreSQL database environments. Solvaria provides PostgreSQL managed services for on-premises deployments and cloud-managed environments—including Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, and AlloyDB—delivered by senior DBAs who apply enterprise-grade rigor to open-source database management.
When PostgreSQL environments need enterprise-grade management
PostgreSQL is a powerful, versatile database platform, but its open-source nature means that enterprise-grade management practices aren’t built in by default. Organizations that migrate to PostgreSQL to reduce licensing costs frequently discover that the operational complexity doesn’t disappear—it shifts. Autovacuum tuning, replication configuration, extension management, and performance analysis on PostgreSQL require hands-on expertise that is harder to find than SQL Server or Oracle skills. Without it, performance degrades and reliability suffers.
Solvaria’s approach to PostgreSQL management
Our DBAs manage PostgreSQL environments with the same discipline we apply to commercial database platforms. We establish monitoring baselines, tune autovacuum and connection management, optimize query performance, and implement backup and recovery practices appropriate to each environment’s criticality. We work with both self-managed PostgreSQL and cloud-managed services, adapting our approach to the constraints and capabilities of each deployment model.
Solvaria also supports Oracle to PostgreSQL migrations for organizations reducing Oracle licensing costs. Our team manages the full migration lifecycle—schema conversion, data migration, application compatibility testing, and performance validation—ensuring the PostgreSQL environment meets the operational standards of the system it replaces.
Core capabilities
Performance monitoring and query tuning
Monitor PostgreSQL environments using pg_stat tools and custom diagnostic scripts, analyze query plans with EXPLAIN ANALYZE, and tune indexes, configuration parameters, and query structures to sustain performance.
Autovacuum and maintenance management
Configure and monitor autovacuum, analyze table bloat, and execute manual maintenance operations to prevent performance degradation from dead tuple accumulation.
Replication and high availability
Configure and manage streaming replication, logical replication, and failover solutions including Patroni and pgBouncer to meet uptime and DR requirements.
Backup and recovery
Implement and validate backup strategies using pg_dump, pgBackRest, and WAL archiving, with regular recovery testing to ensure recoverability.
Security hardening
Audit PostgreSQL configurations and pg_hba.conf settings, implement role-based access controls, enable SSL, and align configurations with CIS PostgreSQL benchmarks.
Extension and version management
Manage PostgreSQL extensions, major version upgrades using pg_upgrade, and cloud-managed version transitions with minimal application disruption.
Oracle to PostgreSQL migration
Plan and execute schema conversion, data migration, and performance validation for migrations from Oracle to PostgreSQL, preserving business logic and operational stability.
Environments we support
Our DBAs manage PostgreSQL across self-managed on-premises deployments and cloud-managed services including Amazon RDS, Amazon Aurora, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, Google Cloud SQL, and AlloyDB, supporting versions 9.6 through current releases. Our team applies enterprise-grade management discipline to open-source PostgreSQL, including autovacuum tuning, replication configuration, and extension management that generalist DBAs often lack the depth to handle well. Every engagement is staffed by onshore, U.S.-based senior DBAs with hands-on PostgreSQL expertise across production enterprise environments.
