Database architecture

We model data deliberately, then plan the indexes, migrations, replication and recovery needed to keep it dependable.

Start a project

An example architectureAPI

Application servicesNode.js
DatabasePostgreSQL
Read replicaPostgreSQL

CacheRedis
Backups & recovery

A possible arrangement, not a prescribed stack. Boundaries and tools are chosen for the project.

Designed for the conditions.

Agree the scope around your users, current systems and the constraints that matter.

Data modelling
Schema and index design
Query optimisation
Migrations
Replication and recovery

What you get

Concrete outputs that help your team understand, maintain and extend the system.

Data model and ER diagrams
Index and query tuning report
Migration and rollback plan
Backup and recovery drills

Approach

Clear steps, visible progress.

Model the domain
Name the entities and relationships the business runs on.
Design for the queries
Shape schemas and indexes around real access patterns.
Plan for growth
Migrations, partitioning and capacity before they hurt.
Protect the data
Replication, backups and tested recovery paths.

Technology examples

Examples, not a fixed stack — chosen per project, with the team that will own it.
