When You Might Need Our Monthly DBA Time
Finding a good DBA will cost you a lot of time, money and effort. Sometimes you need to do it fast, and sometimes you seek very specific competencies that are hard to find and super expensive. Sometimes you need them not on a full-time basis. Vettabase offers you monthly DBA time specifically for such cases.
Hire 1/4 of a DBA
If you don't have a DBA or enough tasks for a full-time one, have our DBA team as a service doing the job for you!
Maximize performance
While working with your databases regularly, we will audit them, efficiently troubleshoot and configure them for you.
Offload your team
Delegate some tasks to Vettabase DBAs if you have extra work to do or a some "DBA debt" to take care of before it's too late.
Consult our experts
While making strategic or technical choices, you will always have a chance get pro advice and make informed decisions.
Fix complex issues
If a particular problem looks daunting to you and requires extra investigation, trust the solution to us.
Stay flexible
You pay us for your average amount of hours per month. We can agree to move your remaining hours to another month.
Important note. Please be aware that we will work for you asynchronously, but commit to a certain amount of hours per month. The exact timing and weekdays may vary according to our and your schedule.
Supported Technologies
Vettabase professionals use open source tools trusted and recommended by experts developing databases for decades. If a technology is spoken about, chances are that we have worked with it, too. We decide on a toolkit with automation at heart.
Tasks Covered by Our Remote DBAs
Our expert-level Database Administrators will log into your systems remotely to work on all types of regular DBA tasks and investigate complex issues for you. Please expect a thorough examination of your database and asynchronous work that will help you make the most of it.
1
Incident Investigation
We'll check out your recent database incidents, find out what caused them and apply new configurations or otherwise fix them.
2
Performance Optimisation
To speed up your database, we will look into its current issues, tune it and optimise queries to ensure high performance.
3
Tasks Coming From You
After a call where we'll define the scope of work, we'll focus on what's most important for your business: backups, HA, etc.
Stay flexible with us!
Sometimes it might be practical to spend less hours this month and move the remaining hours to the next month to prepare for a major update or expected traffic surges. We can negotiate such changes within reasonable limits and based on our capacity.
