Database Design & Optimization
About this offering
Design efficient, scalable database schemas and optimize existing databases for better performance. I work with SQL and NoSQL databases to ensure your data is properly structured, indexed, and performing optimally. Perfect for applications experiencing slow queries, scaling issues, or needing a solid data foundation. I analyze your data requirements, design normalized schemas, create proper indexes, and implement caching strategies. You'll receive a well-designed database with documentation, optimization recommendations, query performance improvements, and monitoring setup. Your application will be faster, more reliable, and ready to scale.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does database optimization take?
Database optimization typically takes 2-5 weeks including performance analysis, schema review, index optimization, query tuning, and testing. Results are often visible within days.
What databases do you work with?
We work with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, SQL Server, and other SQL and NoSQL databases. We recommend databases based on your data and query patterns.
Can you fix slow database queries?
Yes, we analyze slow queries, add appropriate indexes, rewrite inefficient queries, implement caching, and optimize database configuration to dramatically improve query performance.
Will database optimization cause downtime?
Most optimizations can be applied with zero downtime. We carefully plan changes, test in staging environments, and execute during low-traffic periods when necessary.
Can you redesign existing database schemas?
Yes, we redesign schemas for better normalization, performance, and scalability. We create migration plans that preserve data integrity while transitioning to the new structure.
How much faster will my database be after optimization?
Most databases see 50-90% improvement in query performance after optimization. Complex queries that took minutes can often run in seconds with proper indexes and query tuning.
How much does database optimization cost?
Database optimization ranges from $1,500 to $10,000 depending on database size, complexity, number of performance issues, and whether schema redesign is needed.
