Database management: questions and answers
Which databases do you work with?
Mainly MySQL and MariaDB, including managed Amazon RDS databases, plus PostgreSQL and DynamoDB for some applications.
Can you speed up a slow website database?
Often, yes. Slow pages are frequently caused by a few inefficient queries or missing indexes, which we can find and fix.
Do you handle very large data sets?
Yes. Our own Companies House importer loads millions of company records in about two hours.
