Data platforms that don't blink under load.

From OLTP to lakehouse, Askbuc designs, migrates, hardens, and runs databases that stay fast, available, and compliant.

Modular capabilities

Database Architecture & Build
PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL/MariaDB, Oracle; NoSQL (MongoDB/Cassandra) as needed. Schema design, indexing, partitioning, sharding. Built for scale from day one.
Migrations & Modernization
Cross-engine moves (e.g., Oracle→Postgres), zero- or near-zero-downtime cutovers (logical replication, CDC), de-risked rollbacks. Move confidently without business disruption.
Data Warehouse & Lakehouse
Snowflake/Redshift/BigQuery; Delta/Iceberg lakehouse patterns; ingestion (Kafka/streaming), ELT/ETL orchestration. Analytics infrastructure that scales with your questions.
HA/DR & Performance
Multi-AZ/region, synchronous replication, quorum, failover orchestration; RPO/RTO design; query tuning; connection pooling. Uptime and speed you can measure.
Governance & Security
Row/column-level security, encryption in transit/at rest, tokenization, data classification, audit trails, key management; NIST/CIS/ISO alignment. Compliance built in, not bolted on.

Common engagement patterns

Zero-Downtime Migration
Move from Oracle to PostgreSQL with logical replication, parallel validation, and instant rollback capability. Typical 4-8 week timeline.
HA/DR Design Review
Assess current RPO/RTO, design multi-region failover, implement automated testing. 2-week engagement with runbooks.
Performance Optimization
Query tuning, index optimization, connection pooling, caching strategy. Typical 2-4x improvement in response times.
Lakehouse Implementation
Design Delta/Iceberg architecture, set up ingestion pipelines, implement governance. 6-12 week timeline depending on data volume.
