Managed Database

DBA-as-a-service for MySQL, Postgres, SQL Server, MongoDB, and Redis — schema review, query tuning, backups, replication, and 24×7 monitoring.

Talk to a DBA

Overview

Databases are where most production incidents start. A bad query plan, a missing index, a schema change that wasn't reviewed — and your app is down at 3am. Most teams don't have a dedicated DBA, and the developer who 'knows databases' is usually wrong about the things that matter most.

CB4UHost's Managed Database service is DBA-as-a-service. We handle schema review, query tuning, index optimization, backup validation, replication setup, failover testing, and 24×7 monitoring. We support MySQL, Postgres, SQL Server, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, and the managed versions (RDS, Cloud SQL, Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, etc.).

We're vendor-neutral. We'll manage your databases on RDS, Cloud SQL, Azure SQL, or self-hosted on EC2/VMs/your own hardware. We'll also recommend the right destination if you're choosing — sometimes self-hosted Postgres is 5x cheaper than RDS for the same workload.

Every engagement includes quarterly performance reviews, index recommendations, and query plan analysis. We catch slow queries before they become incidents.

What's included

24×7 monitoring

CPU, memory, connections, slow query log, replication lag, disk space — with alarm on anomaly.

Schema review

Quarterly schema review — indexes, constraints, normalization, data types.

Query tuning

EXPLAIN analysis of slow queries, index recommendations, query rewrites.

Backup + restore validation

Daily backups + monthly restore test (point-in-time recovery where supported).

Replication + failover

Read replicas, multi-AZ failover config, DR runbook + quarterly failover test.

Patching + upgrades

Engine patching in approved windows, major version upgrade planning and execution.

How we work

1

Database assessment

We assess your databases — engines, sizes, performance, current issues.

2

Onboarding

We set up monitoring, review schema and queries, establish baselines.

3

Steady-state operations

24×7 monitoring, patching, backups, query tuning, quarterly reviews.

4

Quarterly QBR

Performance review, index recommendations, capacity planning.

5

Continuous improvement

We tune the database over time — schema changes, query rewrites, configuration tuning.

FAQ

Which databases do you support?

MySQL, Postgres, SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, and the managed versions (RDS, Cloud SQL, Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, DynamoDB, ElastiCache, etc.).

Do you handle database migrations too?

Yes — see our Data Migration service. We handle engine-to-engine migrations (Oracle → Postgres), version upgrades (Postgres 13 → 16), and provider migrations (RDS → self-hosted).

Can you help with performance issues?

Yes. We do EXPLAIN analysis, index recommendations, query rewrites, and configuration tuning. Most 'slow database' issues are fixable with better indexes or query rewrites — no hardware upgrade needed.

How do you handle backups?

Daily automated backups + transaction log retention for point-in-time recovery. Monthly restore validation (a backup you've never restored from is theater). Cross-region backup copy for DR.
