Advantages of PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL has several advantages that make it one of the best solutions for companies working with large amounts of data:

• • Open-source
    Actively supported by the community, PostgreSQL requires no licensing fees, making it a flexible and cost-effective solution.
  • Extensive extensibility
    PostgreSQL allows the addition of custom functions, data types, and operators, making it an incredibly adaptable tool for data storage.
  • High reliability and fault tolerance
    With built-in replication and advanced backup technologies, PostgreSQL ensures data reliability and system resilience.
  • Support for complex queries and analytics
    PostgreSQL enables both simple and complex analytical queries, making it particularly valuable for businesses handling large data volumes. 

What Does PostgreSQL Administration by DBServ Include?

PostgreSQL administration covers diagnostics, configuration, monitoring, and technical support to ensure uninterrupted and reliable database performance.

1. Diagnostics

Our experts conduct a comprehensive system check, analyze logs, and evaluate configuration parameters. This helps identify potential issues and prevent failures. DBServ employs advanced diagnostic methods to guarantee high performance and data security.

2. Configuration

We tailor PostgreSQL settings to meet your business needs, adjusting configurations and setting up replication. Our specialists take an individualized approach to each database, considering different PostgreSQL versions, from primary configurations to advanced features.

3. Support and Monitoring

Continuous technical support and monitoring help detect and resolve issues in a timely manner. We utilize advanced tools to track database activity and system load, ensuring smooth operation.

PostgreSQL Database Maintenance Plan

As part of our maintenance plan, we offer a full range of services to maintain PostgreSQL’s stability and reliability:

• • Periodic performance optimization. Our specialists regularly analyze and optimize queries to reduce latency and improve processing speed.
  • Backup and recovery setup. We develop and implement backup strategies to minimize data loss in case of failure.
  • Access control and security. We implement role-based access control systems to protect data from unauthorized access.

PostgreSQL Administration Across Different Versions

Each PostgreSQL version has its own features, which our specialists take into account. DBServ provides full support for older versions, assists with their modernization, and advises on migration.

1. Feature Support and Updates

• • New versions: Offer advanced features, improved performance, and optimized query and indexing capabilities. We configure new functions and monitor their efficiency.
  • Older versions: May have performance limitations. We ensure their stable operation by applying patches and maintaining compatibility with existing applications.

2. Compatibility and Migration

• • Upgrading to a new version – A carefully planned process that ensures seamless migration with minimal downtime.
  • Cloud migration and back – We assess cloud platform compatibility and develop a migration plan with minimal disruption.
  • Application compatibility – We ensure PostgreSQL versions work smoothly with your existing applications and infrastructure.

3. Performance and Query Optimization

• • Newer versions benefit from advanced indexing options (e.g., BRIN, GiST) and improved parallel query execution. We fine-tune configurations for peak performance.
  • Older versions require a more detailed approach to query optimization to compensate for the lack of modern features. We use indexing, buffer settings, and query plan optimizations to enhance performance.

4. Security Settings

• • Latest versions offer enhanced encryption, authentication, and access management methods. We configure security features to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Older versions require additional security measures such as role-based access, network filtering, and external security integrations.

5. Backup and Recovery

• • New versions support logical replication and incremental backups, reducing downtime and accelerating recovery.
  • Older versions have limited backup options, but we provide solutions to ensure reliable data recovery with minimal costs.

6. Replication and Fault Tolerance

• • Newer versions offer improved replication, including logical and streaming replication. We configure replication to ensure business continuity.
  • Older versions may have replication limitations. We implement proven methods such as physical replication and clustering to maintain data stability and availability.

7. Extensions and Customization

• • New versions support a wide range of extensions (e.g., PostGIS, HStore), allowing for flexible database customization. We integrate necessary extensions for maximum functionality.
  • Older versions have limited extension support, so we offer alternative customization solutions to maintain compatibility with applications.

8. Updates and Patches

• • New versions receive regular performance and security updates. We ensure timely updates to keep your database up to date.
  • Older versions may no longer receive official support, but we maintain stability through testing and applying compatible fixes.
