CAPABILITIES

What CleverDBA Can DO

CleverDBA helps organizations migrate, modernize, and optimize their database infrastructure. Whether you’re moving to the cloud, escaping Oracle licensing costs, building data pipelines, or chasing the last bit of performance out of a system, we bring decades of hands-on expertise to every engagement.

Zero-Downtime Database Migrations

Move your on-premises or cloud-based Oracle databases to a new platform with only minutes of downtime, using Oracle GoldenGate for continuous replication and cutover.

  • On-premises Oracle to AWS or Oracle Cloud Autonomous Database
  • AWS RDS for Oracle to Oracle Cloud Autonomous Database
  • Cross-region and cross-cloud migrations with full data integrity validation

Escape the Oracle Licensing Treadmill

Tired of escalating Oracle license and support costs? CleverDBA has migrated hundreds of databases off proprietary platforms onto open-source alternatives, with custom tooling that lets us incrementally migrate and synchronize data between platforms throughout the project — so your cutover window stays small and predictable.

  • Oracle to PostgreSQL
  • SQL Server to PostgreSQL
  • Schema redesign and optimization for the target platform
  • PL/SQL rewritten as idiomatic PL/pgSQL
  • BLOB and CLOB migration to filesystem, database, or cloud object storage

ETL and Data Integration

Building robust ETL pipelines is one of our specialties. We design pipelines that are maintainable, observable, and reliable at scale — the kind that survive contact with real-world data and run for years without intervention.

  • Ingestion from flat files, spreadsheets, fixed-width legacy extracts, XML, JSON, and third-party APIs
  • Transformation and loading into your cloud or on-premises database
  • ID mapping and reconciliation logic
  • Change data capture and incremental loading strategies
  • Idempotent, restartable pipelines
  • Modernization of legacy ETL

Performance Optimization

CleverDBA brings deep expertise in extracting maximum performance from cloud and on-premises database systems.

  • Diagnosing and resolving performance bottlenecks on AWS RDS for Oracle and PostgreSQL
  • Index strategy, schema design, and query tuning
  • Innovative storage techniques for massive volumes of binary data
  • JSON storage and indexing optimization
  • Full-text index design and implementation
  • Tuning database parallelism

High Availability and Disaster Recovery

  • Oracle RAC clustering for active-active high availability
  • Oracle Data Guard and standby database configuration
  • PostgreSQL replication and HA topologies
  • Automated disaster recovery scripts, runbooks, and failover testing
  • Backup and recovery strategies
  • Database hardening
