IT Managed Services & Technical Support
Database Maintenance
Routine care for your MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server or MongoDB databases, covering backups, indexing, tuning, upgrades and integrity checks so your data stays reliable and queries stay fast.
Overview
Why it matters
for your business.
Databases slow down gradually. Tables grow, indexes go stale, logs fill disks and backups are taken but never tested. When the problem finally shows up, it is usually during a month-end report or a sales peak. Our database maintenance service handles this routine but specialist work on a regular schedule.
We assess each database for size, growth, slow queries, backup coverage and version support. We then set up scheduled maintenance: index and statistics upkeep, log and storage management, integrity checks and restore tests. Slow queries are analysed with your developers, and version upgrades are rehearsed on a copy before production. Findings and actions are shared in a monthly database health report.
What's included
- Database health and capacity assessment
- Scheduled index, statistics and vacuum maintenance
- Backup verification and periodic restore tests
- Slow query analysis with tuning recommendations
- Planned minor and major version upgrades
- Monthly database health report

FAQ
Common
questions.
Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.
Will maintenance cause downtime?
Most tasks run online with minimal impact. Work that needs locks or restarts, such as major upgrades, is scheduled in an agreed maintenance window, rehearsed beforehand and communicated to your team in advance.
Do you work with managed databases like Amazon RDS?
Yes. With managed services such as Amazon RDS or Azure SQL, the provider handles the underlying hardware, but query tuning, parameter settings, indexing, storage growth and upgrade planning still need attention, and that is where we help.
