Architecture decisions are cheap to make and expensive to unmake. A topology that fits today's traffic can fall over at three times the write volume, and by then every fix is a migration.
We review your current or planned architecture against your actual workload, growth numbers, and availability targets, and you walk away with a documented set of options and the trade-offs behind each one. Pick your database below.

Scaling MySQL isn't just adding read replicas; it's a series of decisions about topology, consistency, and failure modes that get harder to unwind the longer you wait. A replication topology chosen for today's traffic doesn't automatically hold up at three times the write volume, and most teams don't find out until a failover goes wrong.
We review your current or planned architecture against your actual business objectives, access patterns, and growth trajectory, not a generic reference architecture pulled from documentation.
Built for teams planning a new MySQL deployment, or reviewing one that's outgrown its original design, whether self-managed, RDS, Aurora, or another DBaaS. If you already know your target architecture and just need implementation, pair this with our Migration or Setup and Configuration engagement instead.
A documented architecture roadmap you can hand to your team or your next hire, tied directly to your growth numbers instead of generic best-guess sizing. You'll walk away knowing which architecture options were ruled out, and why , not just which one was picked.

Routing and read/write split strategy are reviewed where they're part of your architecture
Whether you're planning a new PostgreSQL deployment or reviewing one that's outgrown its original design, the decisions that matter are about replication topology, partitioning strategy, and extension choices, not generic sizing guides that ignore your actual access patterns.
We review your architecture against your stated performance, growth, and availability requirements, and validate whether your planned approach actually holds up.
Built for teams planning a new PostgreSQL deployment or reviewing one that's outgrown its original design, self-managed, RDS, Aurora, or another DBaaS. Extension compatibility is reviewed as part of the architecture discussion where relevant, along with how connection pooling interacts with your planned replication topology.
A defensible architecture decision, documented with the trade-offs you actually care about, not a slide that says 'use read replicas.' You'll know whether your partitioning strategy holds up at your projected table size before you've built it.

Sharding decisions made early, shard key selection, chunk distribution strategy, replica set topology, are expensive to reverse later. A shard key that looked reasonable at launch can turn into an unbalanced cluster and a re-sharding project a year in.
We review your current or planned architecture against your actual access patterns and growth trajectory, and validate whether your shard key and topology choices will hold up.
Built for teams planning a new MongoDB deployment or reviewing a replica set or sharded cluster that's outgrown its original design, self-managed, Atlas, or another DBaaS. Covers how your shard key choice interacts with query routing and targeted versus scatter-gather operations.
A shard key and topology decision backed by your actual data access patterns, not a guess you'll have to migrate away from in a year. You'll leave with a documented rationale for the shard key you chose , and the ones you ruled out , along with read/write concern settings that match what you actually need, not the defaults.

Cluster topology, persistence strategy, and data structure choices determine whether your Valkey or Redis deployment holds up under real production load or falls over under load. Most of these decisions get made once, at launch, and never revisited against actual traffic.
We review your current or planned architecture end-to-end, cluster topology, hash slot distribution, and persistence configuration against your actual durability and availability requirements.
Built for teams planning a new Valkey or Redis deployment, or reviewing a cluster that's outgrown its original topology, self-managed or DBaaS. Module compatibility and Valkey migration considerations are reviewed where relevant, including how your client library's cluster awareness behaves during resharding.
A cluster and persistence design that matches your actual durability requirements, not the defaults it shipped with. You'll know precisely what happens to your data during a node failure before it happens in production, and whether your client library will actually follow a hash slot migration without dropped connections.
