Hire a Database Architect — Fixed-Price Schema Design & Migration
Fix a data model that's outgrown its original shape, or design one that won't need fixing in six months.
Database schemas built quickly — especially by AI tools optimizing for "make it work now" — tend to accumulate problems that only show up under real usage: missing indexes that slow queries as data grows, relationships that don't enforce data integrity, and fields that don't match how the product actually evolved.
We take on database work as fixed-price engagements: schema design for new features, performance reviews and indexing for slow queries, and migrations to fix structural issues without taking your app offline.
What You Get
- A schema reviewed (or designed) for the relationships your product actually has
- Indexes added where queries need them — and not where they don't
- Migrations planned to avoid downtime or data loss
- Row-level security and access patterns reviewed for multi-user data
- A fixed price for the defined schema or migration scope
How We Work
- We review your current schema, query patterns, and any known slow points
- Fixed-price quote scoped to the schema changes or migrations needed
- Migrations are planned and tested before running against production data
- We work with your existing database (Postgres and Supabase are common)
- Documentation handed over covering the new schema and any migration steps
Frequently Asked Questions
Our queries have gotten slow as our data has grown — can you fix that without a redesign?
Often, yes. Many performance issues come down to missing indexes or inefficient query patterns rather than a fundamentally broken schema. We start with a review to find the actual cause before proposing changes.
We're on Supabase — do you work with that specifically?
Yes — Supabase (Postgres plus row-level security) is one of the most common setups we work with, especially for apps that started in Lovable or Bolt.new.
Can you do this without downtime?
For most schema changes, yes — we plan migrations to run incrementally against a live database. Larger structural changes are scoped with a clear migration plan agreed upfront.
