Small business · Database engineering
Mission databases that stay up, run fast, and move cleanly.
Bandlei designs, migrates, protects, and tunes Oracle, Amazon Aurora, and open-source database platforms for federal agencies and their prime contractors. Senior engineers do the work, from the first assessment to the final runbook.
What we do
Every engagement is anchored to measurable targets, recovery point and recovery time objectives, response-time baselines, and agreed cutover windows, and everything we deliver is fully documented.
Database design & platform engineering
Data and access profiling, re-architecting, and capacity planning for Oracle, Aurora, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
Learn more MIGRATEMigration & modernization
Oracle and MySQL to Aurora and PostgreSQL, database to lakehouse, and cloud moves with tested rollback.
Learn more PROTECTHigh availability & disaster recovery
Automated failover, metrics-weighted load balancing, and recovery proven with drills.
Learn more TUNEPerformance engineering
AWR/ASH and wait-event analysis and SQL tuning, with the fix and the evidence.
Learn more PREDICTAI-assisted monitoring
Custom-built baselines, drill-down, and forecasts delivered into the tools you already run.
Learn more TIERHybrid data tiers
The right engine and storage for each kind of data, up to an Iceberg lakehouse with Trino.
Learn moredbTalk: ask your database what changed
Our drift monitor for PostgreSQL and MySQL. It learns what is typical for each hour, flags the statements and measures that move away from it, shows what is happening right now, and answers plain-English questions with a chart. Hosted by Bandlei, onsite on your own server, or in your own AWS or Google Cloud account next to RDS, Aurora and Cloud SQL. Launching soon: try the live demo now; trial versions are coming soon.
Why program offices and primes bring us in
Predictive, not reactive
AI-assisted baseline monitoring and forecasting catch regressions and capacity limits early, with an engineer validating every finding. How it works
Hybrid tiers, one system
Each dataset gets the engine and storage that fit how it is used, from Oracle and Aurora to an Iceberg and Parquet lakehouse, with one security model, catalog, and recovery plan across all of them. See the design
Senior, hands-on engineers
The principal who scopes the work also does it. No bench of juniors learning on your production system.
Recovery that is tested, not assumed
Every HA/DR design ships with a switchover and restore drill and the evidence that it met its targets.
Security-minded by default
Configurations built to agency hardening baselines, least-privilege access, and audit settings that support ATO packages.
Easy to team with
A small, responsive partner for primes who need specialized database depth on a larger contract.
