Chosen by Founders Who
Ship,/Scale,/Operate
Partnering with early-stage and scaling startups to build systems that define the next generation of industry leaders.
Where Good Applications Begin
Slow apps are usually slow queries wearing a frontend disguise. Getting the schema, indexes and access patterns right at design time saves years of patching — and our DBA-led team treats that craft seriously.
Beyond greenfield builds, we rescue struggling databases: locking wars, replication lag, missing backups, undocumented schemas inherited from departed vendors. Every intervention starts with a health check and ends with documentation your next developer will thank us for.
Database Services
Design, build, optimise and migrate across engines your stack needs.
Schema Architecture
ERD modelling balancing integrity with the reads your product performs.
Engine Selection
PostgreSQL vs SQL Server vs MongoDB decided by workload, not fashion.
Procedure & Trigger Craft
Well-scoped T-SQL/PLpgSQL logic kept under version control.
Performance Tuning
Index strategy, plan analysis and query rewrites that remove lag.
HA & Replication
Standbys, read replicas and failover drills rehearsed, not assumed.
Zero-Loss Migrations
Move between engines/clouds with checksummed verification throughout.

The Business of Software
Sourced context on why custom software is built and maintained.
Software engineering applies engineering discipline to the design, development, testing and maintenance of software systems.[1]
Software maintenance and evolution typically account for a significant share of a product's total lifetime cost, which is why ongoing support matters as much as initial development.[1]

Common Questions
Health checks start at AED 8,000; schema and application database builds from AED 20,000. Complex HA or migration programmes typically AED 50,000–150,000.
Very often, yes. A one-week performance audit profiles top queries, waits and plans, identifying whether indexing, schema or code changes will recover the speed cheapest.
Regularly. We translate schemas and procedural code, stage parallel runs with checksum comparisons, and cut over only after parity reports pass.
Yes — retainers cover backup verification, patching windows, capacity forecasting and on-call incident response, sized for systems that must stay up.
For flexible document workloads, absolutely; for heavily relational reporting, usually not primary. We assess access patterns honestly and mix engines where each genuinely fits.
