PostgreSQL Consulting
PostgreSQL consulting and remote DBA from senior experts
Aryasoft’s PostgreSQL consulting covers architecture, performance tuning, high availability, backup and recovery, version upgrades, migrations and security. Our remote DBA service keeps your PostgreSQL servers maintained and monitored 8x5 or 7x24, and every engagement is run by senior experts only.
Many teams now run PostgreSQL next to SQL Server, on premises or in Azure and AWS. You get the same service catalogue, processes and reporting we use on our SQL Server consulting engagements, applied with PostgreSQL’s own tools and practices.
Why Aryasoft
Trusted PostgreSQL expertise
Aryasoft supports organizations across finance, public sector, automotive, FMCG, consulting, media and technology.
About AryasoftPostgreSQL Services
What our PostgreSQL consultants do for you
Pick a single project, such as a tuning sprint or an upgrade, or combine several services under one remote DBA agreement.
Consulting & Architecture
For new projects and growing systems that need a PostgreSQL design built for load, availability and future growth.
What we do:
- Server sizing, storage and configuration design
- Schema, partitioning and extension choices
- On-premises, Azure or AWS deployment model
Architecture work ends with a written design and the decisions behind it, so your team can run and extend the system.
Remote DBA & Managed PostgreSQL
For teams without enough in-house PostgreSQL capacity, or whose DBA has left.
What we do:
- 8x5 or 7x24 maintenance-support
- SLA: full remote DBA, 7x24 premium
- Routine maintenance, alerts and incident response
Pricing is per instance and depends on the service model. Contact us for a quote.
Performance Tuning
For slow queries, high CPU or I/O, lock waits and connection storms.
What we do:
- Workload analysis with pg_stat_statements
- Plan reviews with EXPLAIN ANALYZE and index design
- Autovacuum tuning and connection pooling with PgBouncer
We start from measured data, fix the statements that cost the most, and compare the results against the baseline.
High Availability & DR
For systems that can’t afford long outages or data loss.
What we do:
- Streaming replication and standby servers
- Patroni-based clusters with automatic failover
- pgBackRest backups and point-in-time recovery (PITR)
RPO and RTO targets are agreed with you first; restore tests then show whether the setup meets them.
Version Upgrades
For servers on a major version that is near or past its end of life.
What we do:
- Compatibility review of extensions and application code
- pg_upgrade or logical replication, chosen by downtime budget
- Rehearsal, rollback plan and post-upgrade checks
PostgreSQL 14 reaches end of life on 12 November 2026. Our default upgrade target is PostgreSQL 18, the current major version.
Migrations
For moves to PostgreSQL from SQL Server or Oracle, and between on-premises and cloud.
What we do:
- SQL Server and Oracle to PostgreSQL
- To and from Azure Database for PostgreSQL
- To and from Amazon RDS and Aurora PostgreSQL
Data types, procedural code and application queries are mapped and tested before cutover. See our database migration services.
Remote DBA Models
Managed PostgreSQL support with clear response times
Choose how much cover your PostgreSQL servers need. Every request is logged as a ticket and handled within the times in your contract.
| Model | Coverage | First response | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maintenance-Support 8x5 | Weekdays 09:00–18:00 | 2 hours during business hours; after-hours requests are handled when business hours start | PostgreSQL servers that need regular maintenance and support during business hours |
| Maintenance-Support 7x24 | Every day, around the clock | 2 hours during business hours, 4 hours outside them | Systems that run at night and on weekends but don’t need a full SLA |
| SLA (full remote DBA) | 7x24x365 premium, with an account manager, technical team and on-call team | 30 minutes during business hours, 2 hours outside them; resolution times in the contract | Critical production PostgreSQL with low tolerance for downtime |
Business hours are weekdays 09:00–18:00 Türkiye time, excluding public holidays. Ticket packages, block hours and a dedicated remote DBA are also available for PostgreSQL; see our managed DBA service models.
How pricing works
Pricing is per PostgreSQL instance and depends on the model: 8x5 or 7x24 maintenance-support, or the SLA package. Contact us for a quote.
How a request is handled
- 1
You send an email. A message to the support address in your contract opens a ticket in our Jira system automatically.
- 2
You get a ticket number. A confirmation email tells you the request is logged; all follow-up runs through that number.
- 3
An engineer takes ownership. An L1 support engineer picks up the ticket and starts work.
- 4
Escalation when needed. Deeper issues go to an expert PostgreSQL DBA and, when necessary, to a database architect.
Communication channels
With your ticket number you can reach us through:
- Microsoft Teams messages
- A WhatsApp group for your organization
- Your assigned engineer’s corporate phone
- Your account manager
In a critical situation
If PostgreSQL is down or data is at risk, open a ticket first, then call or message us in parallel. The request is logged and the team knows at once.

Backup and WAL archive checks, retention rules and regular test restores.
Routine Maintenance
Autovacuum and statistics, index upkeep and minor version updates.
Security and Compliance
Roles and least privilege, pg_hba.conf rules, SSL/TLS, SCRAM authentication and pgaudit logging for KVKK audits.
Monthly Reporting
Tickets, incidents, health status and improvement recommendations in one report.

Urgent PostgreSQL Support
Is your PostgreSQL in trouble right now?
A stuck replica, a disk filling with WAL or a query that suddenly runs for minutes can stop the business. Our senior PostgreSQL experts assess the situation and act before quick fixes make it worse.
- Sudden slowdowns and lock waits
- Replication lag or a failed failover
- Disk full from WAL or replication slots
- Transaction ID wraparound warnings
- Failed backups or restores
Our sales team will respond within 8 hours.
Platform Expertise
PostgreSQL wherever it runs
We support self-managed PostgreSQL on physical servers and VMs, managed PostgreSQL services in Azure and AWS, and mixed estates where PostgreSQL runs next to SQL Server.
On managed cloud services the provider runs the platform, but query performance, parameters, extensions, users and cost remain your responsibility. That is where our team works.
Self-Managed PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL on Linux or Windows servers and VMs, including replication, Patroni clusters and pgBackRest backups.

SQL Server ConsultingHow We Work
How we onboard your PostgreSQL servers
Step 01
Auditing, checklist and inventory
Before we touch anything, we set up auditing of our own actions together with you, so every step we take is recorded.
- Audit of Aryasoft’s actions, agreed with you
- Onboarding checklist worked through item by item
- Inventory of servers, versions, databases and extensions
Step 02
Backups come first
Backups and recoverability are checked before any tuning, because every later change depends on a working way back.
- Backup jobs, WAL archiving and retention
- A test restore and point-in-time recovery check
- Corruption checks with data checksums and amcheck
Step 03
The privilege matrix
We map who can do what on each server and share the matrix with you, including our own access.
- Superuser and privileged role review
- pg_hba.conf rules and authentication methods
- Least-privilege accounts for applications and people
Step 04
Health scan and baseline
A PostgreSQL health scan records each finding with a timestamp. The baseline shows normal behaviour, so later changes can be measured.
- Configuration, vacuum, bloat and replication findings
- Top statements from pg_stat_statements
- Baseline for CPU, memory, I/O and connections
Step 05
Fix, document and support
Findings are fixed in priority order without disrupting your users, then ongoing support starts under your chosen model.
- Prioritized, non-disruptive fixes
- HA/DR, backup/retention and emergency action plan documented
- Monitoring, tickets and monthly reports
Security Model
We manage your environment, not your data
Giving an outside team access to production is a serious decision. Our working model is built so that your data stays with you.
No customer data is kept on Aryasoft’s side; working documents stay on the consultant machine inside your environment. Everything we do is logged.
