Performance review sprint
Fixed-length review of top latency drivers, plan regression checks, and a prioritised remediation list. Suitable before a major release window.
DataFlux Consulting
Programming consulting focused on database performance and controlled migration work — scoped engagements and advisory sessions for teams that need measurable query behaviour, not slide decks.
Where slow queries usually hide
Most performance pain we see in Sabah and West Malaysia engagements is not a missing index slogan — it is mismatched isolation levels, batch jobs colliding with OLTP, and migration scripts that never met production cardinality. We read execution plans, wait statistics, and migration journals the way a compiler engineer reads hotspots.
Engagements stay bounded: a written scope, agreed access to non-production replicas where possible, and deliverables you can hand to your own DBAs.
Scoped offers for database work
Migration programming block
Hands-on scripting for schema moves, backfill strategies, and cutover rehearsal — paired with rollback notes your team can execute.
Process we follow on every engagement
- Intake call — workload shape, engines in use (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, others), and constraints on downtime.
- Access plan — read-only telemetry first; production changes only after written approval.
- Findings memo — reproducible tests, not anecdotal “it feels faster”.
- Implementation window — pair programming with your engineers or direct patches, per scope.
- Handover — runbooks, monitoring hooks, and optional advisory session for your on-call rotation.
Questions teams ask before booking
Do you run the database for us?
No — we are programming consultants. We write and review the code, scripts, and configuration changes; your team retains operational control and credentials.
Can you work with legacy stored procedures?
Yes, when source and test environments exist. We document behavioural differences before any cutover and flag risky dynamic SQL explicitly.
Are sessions remote?
Most advisory sessions are remote; on-site workshops in Kota Kinabalu can be arranged within the scoped travel line item.
How is pricing structured?
Fixed-fee sprints or time-boxed advisory blocks, quoted in MYR after intake. No subscription platform — each engagement stands alone.
