Relational Database Design, Migration & Management

Expert MySQL or PostgreSQL database design, schema migration, and ongoing management for your web application.

A poorly designed database is one of the most expensive technical debts a growing business can carry — slow queries, data inconsistencies, and brittle schema changes compound over time. This service covers professional relational database design, safe migrations, and ongoing management for MySQL and PostgreSQL databases.

Database design engagements start with a review of your application requirements, existing schema if any, and data relationships. A normalised, index-optimised schema is produced with full ERD documentation. New schemas are delivered as migration scripts compatible with your stack, whether raw SQL, Laravel migrations, Doctrine, or another framework.

Migrations from one database engine to another, such as MySQL to PostgreSQL, or from an old schema to a new one, are handled with zero-downtime strategies where possible: dual-write phases, backfill scripts, and cut-over procedures. All migrations are tested against a copy of production data before execution.

Ongoing management covers slow query analysis and index tuning, backup verification, schema change reviews, and replication monitoring. Query optimisations are documented so your team understands what changed and why.

Starting from $200 for a single schema design or migration project. Ideal for growing SaaS applications, e-commerce platforms, and any web application that has outgrown its original database design or is experiencing performance bottlenecks.
