## How to engage FreedomDev for Database Services

The path to ongoing database administration, performance, backup, and high-availability work.

1. **Database health assessment** — We audit your databases for performance, backup integrity, security, replication status, and capacity headroom. The output is a written assessment.
2. **Stabilize and harden** — Fix the issues the assessment surfaced — broken backups, missing indexes, exposed credentials, deadlocks — in priority order against your risk profile.
3. **Configure monitoring and alerting** — Set up query-level monitoring, replication lag alerts, backup-success notifications, and capacity dashboards so you see problems before they bite.
4. **Ongoing managed support** — Monthly check-ins, quarterly reviews, on-call DBA support, and proactive tuning. You stop running databases yourself and we own the outcomes.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What database platforms do you support?

We work with SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, and Oracle. We also handle NoSQL databases like DynamoDB and Cosmos DB for cloud-native applications.

### Can you recover data from a corrupted database?

In most cases, yes. We have recovered data from corrupted MDF files, failed RAID arrays, and botched migrations. The sooner you call, the better the recovery outcome.

### Do you handle database migrations?

Yes. We migrate between platforms (e.g., Oracle to PostgreSQL), versions (e.g., SQL Server 2012 to 2022), and environments (on-premises to cloud). We ensure zero data loss with thorough validation.

### Can you design a database for a new application?

Absolutely. We design normalized schemas, define indexing strategies, implement security policies, and set up automated backups from the ground up.
