IT Solutions for Database-Centric Teams

Ship faster - without firefighting production issues

Improve the quality of your database code and deliver changes with confidence for Oracle Database and PostgreSQL.

We help teams establish reliable and repeatable engineering practices around their databases, without unnecessary complexity.

To achieve this, we combine proven engineering principles with automation:

Follow fundamental database design principles
Apply a clear and enforceable set of coding guidelines
Use static code analysis for PL/SQL, PL/pgSQL and SQL
Verify metadata and data in development and test databases
Test database code automatically and repeatably
Automate where it delivers measurable value

The result: fewer surprises in production, cleaner database code, and teams that move faster with less risk.

Services & tools to keep database apps maintainable, consistent, and production-ready.

Services

We support database-centric teams throughout the entire lifecycle.

Our services can be used independently or combined, depending on where you need the most assistance.

Database Design & Code Quality

We help teams establish and enforce high-quality database standards that scale with team size and system complexity.

Database design reviews and modeling support
Definition and refinement of database coding standards
Static code analysis for PL/SQL and SQL
Identification of design, performance, and maintainability risks

Outcome: cleaner schemas, more readable code, and fewer defects entering the pipeline.

Automated Testing & Delivery

We help you detect problems early and deliver database changes safely through pragmatic automation.

Automated testing of database logic and APIs
Integration of test runs into CI/CD pipelines
Integration of static code analysis into CI/CD pipelines

Outcome: fast feedback, reliable releases, and confidence in every database change.

Coaching & Enablement

We work with your team, not just your systems.

Hands-on coaching for developers and DBAs
Defining executable coding guidelines
Knowledge transfer and documentation
Support during adoption of new practices and tools

Outcome: teams that understand why things work and can maintain them independently.

Products

Our products are built to support the practices we apply in our services: clarity, automation, and reliability for database-centric development.
