How Database Automation Will Benefit You

Building a powerful automation for your infrastructure means that you don't waste your time on routine tasks anymore and don't put your data at risk working manually long hours. Automated operations mean that you can trust your infrastructure.

Reliable automation from experts

Vettabase professionals knowing the database internals and top automation tools will offer you stable & elegant automations.

Server & operations testing

Understand what will work and what will not thanks to automation: all your automated operations are easy to test.

Lower costs for operations

Proper automation turns hours of work into minutes and offloads your team reducing the number of repetitive & frustrating tasks.

Less downtime

If your backup and restore procedures are pre-planned and automated, you get your node or cluster up almost instantly.

No human mistakes

With automation in place, you eliminate database anomalies that often result in IT problems and losses for your business.

Easier configurations

By leveraging a configuration management system, you can clone your optimal database configurations in no time.

Database Automation Tools:
Ansible and more

We prefer to use Ansible for all our database and ecosystem automations. It is an open source tool that proved to work well even in the most complicated installations.

We also have experience with Puppet and Chef, but these are commercial tools depending on their corresponding companies.

How We Charge You for Database Automation

Our goal is to make routine work much easier for your particular database team. This means that we'll create tailored solutions for your operations and your infrastructure based on the conversations we had with you. So the cost of such a project depends on how complicated your database infrastructure is and what you do with it, but we'll provide you with a quotation after a free consultation.

We recommend you to focus on both current issues and desired outcomes so you could achieve what you want thanks to the solutions we'll build for you. We'll keep our automations clear, elegant and easy to understand for everyone on your team. Just describe your project and ask for a quote!

At MariaDB Foundation, we asked Vettabase to produce an analysis of the differences between MariaDB and another database technology, from a user perspective. The outcome was helpful and accurate, showing how Vettabase thorough skills cover multiple technologies.

Vettabase performed a remote health check of our MariaDB cluster and MaxScale database proxy. The cluster is a critical infrastructure component for many of our experiments at the synchrotron. Vettabase produced a detailed report with all identified issues and recommended solutions for each. The report has given us reassurances about our database health and will serve as a guide for future improvements. Vettabase has demonstrated a deep technical understanding of MariaDB, Galera and MaxScale in a Linux environment. It was a pleasure to work with them!
