What we deliver

From schema design to day-to-day database support

Work on an existing database, or design one from a blank page for a new system.

Database design

Structured for how you will query it

Schema design and normalisation for new systems, built around the reports and workloads you will actually run.

Security is a week-one workstream, not a final-week event — and every release is tested before it reaches your users.

All data held inside the Sultanate, designed for the Personal Data Protection Law with restricted views and private file stores.

Data residency
PDPL

Encryption

Protected in transit and at rest

TLS 1.3 or later in transit and AES-256 at rest, with every sensitive operation recorded in the audit trail.

TLS 1.3
AES-256

Testing

Tested before it ships

Security testing and code review, load testing for 500+ concurrent users, and at least 70% unit test coverage.

70% coverage

Resilience

Backups proven, not assumed

Daily incremental and weekly full backups with tested restores, penetration testing and ISO 27001-aligned practices.

How a project runs

Understand

Discovery, requirements and scope agreed in writing, with an approved design and requirements document.

02

Design

UX/UI and architecture planned and reviewed with you before building starts.

03

Build and test

Short sprints with a demo at each close, plus security, load, integration and user acceptance testing.

Warranty, fixes, security updates and improvements under agreed SLAs — and the next phase when you are ready.

Questions about databases

Answers before you ask

Still have a question? Send it to us and we will get back to you within one working day.

Yes. We start with a review of the existing schema, indexes and backup setup before making changes.

Migrations use a tested cutover plan with a rollback option, timed for low-traffic windows to minimise disruption.

Yes — restore tests are run on a schedule and documented, not just assumed because a backup job completed.

Yes, managed database support with monitoring, patching and an agreed response-time SLA is available separately from project work.

Common relational and NoSQL engines including PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, SQL Server and MongoDB, among others.
