Databases

PostgreSQL is the default open source database for organisations that want enterprise reliability without proprietary lock-in. Stable, extensible, cloud-native & backed by a global community.

Kangaroot helps you adopt, migrate to, secure & run PostgreSQL in production. We cover the full stack: architecture, implementation, performance, security, HA/DR & day-to-day operations. Technical depth, no vendor agenda.

  • PostgreSQL consulting & architecture

    Cluster design, replication, failover, query optimisation, connection pooling, monitoring. Whether you're starting fresh or scaling an existing environment, we assess your landscape & design for what you actually need.

    PostgreSQL fits modern architectures as a primary OLTP engine, HTAP database, microservices data store, cloud migration target or Oracle replacement.

  • Performance optimization

    Performance is a continuous discipline. We tune queries, indexes, vacuum & autovacuum, memory, WAL & connection pooling. We monitor with pg_stat_statements, pg_wait_sampling & Prometheus/Grafana. And for continuous AI-driven optimisation, we work with DBtune.

  • High availability & disaster recovery

    Replication architecture, automatic failover (Patroni, RepMgr, EFM), backup strategy (BaRMAN, pgBackRest), PITR, RTO/RPO design & multi-site or multi-cloud DR. We design, implement & test it.

  • Multi-database support

    PostgreSQL is our flagship, but not every workload is relational. Kangaroot also supports MySQL, MariaDB & MongoDB. We help you choose & operate the right open source data platform for every workload.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why choose PostgreSQL over a proprietary database?

    Enterprise-grade reliability, security & performance, without licence costs or vendor lock-in. Kangaroot adds the local expertise & support to make it a strategic asset.

  • Is Kangaroot a managed database provider, or a consultancy?

    Both. We consult, implement & migrate and through Kangarun we take over full operational management if that's what you need.

  • Is my PostgreSQL environment NIS2 compliant?

    That depends on your sector & existing controls. Our security audit maps your environment against NIS2 requirements & gives you a concrete action plan.

  • What's the difference between a health check and a full audit?

    A health check gives a broad baseline across configuration, security & performance. A full audit goes deep on one domain. Most organisations start with a health check, then follow up on what needs attention.
