PostgreSQL, the database we reach for most.
Schema design, performance tuning, and advanced feature usage — PostgreSQL is our default recommendation for new projects more often than any other database, for real reasons.
| id | entity | status |
|---|---|---|
| 77001 | public.events | ok |
| 77002 | public.events | ok |
| 77003 | public.users | ok |
Why teams choose PostgreSQL — and when we agree.
Strong defaults, genuine extensibility
ACID compliance, rich data types, and extensions like pgvector cover an unusually wide range of real-world needs.
Schema design that respects normalization
Properly normalized structures with denormalization applied deliberately, not by default.
Advanced features used where they earn their place
JSONB, full-text search, and window functions reached for when they're the right tool, not by habit.
Performance tuning grounded in execution plans
EXPLAIN ANALYZE-driven optimization, not guesswork.
PostgreSQL work we actually ship.
Schema design & migrations
Database structures built around real application access patterns, with migration discipline that doesn't break production.
Query & index optimization
Execution plan analysis to find and fix the actual source of slow queries.
pgvector / AI-adjacent data work
Vector storage and similarity search for RAG and applied ML use cases.
Replication & high availability
Read replicas and failover configuration for production reliability.
What clients ask before hiring us for PostgreSQL.
It genuinely covers the widest range of workloads well — strong relational guarantees, JSON support when you need flexibility, and a mature extension ecosystem. We still recommend alternatives when a project's specific needs point elsewhere.
Yes — pgvector is a solid, production-ready choice for many RAG use cases, and it means one less specialized database to operate alongside your existing PostgreSQL instance.
