How key sectors in Armenia use database management & remote DBA
Database Management & Remote DBA for IT services
IT services businesses in Armenia usually need fast release cycles, scalable multi-tenant architecture and extra senior engineering capacity. For them, our database management & remote DBA typically starts with upgrades & migration (version upgrades and cross-platform moves such as SQL Server to PostgreSQL) and adds 24/7 monitoring as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on release frequency and customer churn.
Database Management & Remote DBA for Fintech
Fintech businesses in Armenia usually need secure onboarding, ledgers that reconcile to the cent, real-time payments and audit-ready reporting. For them, our database management & remote DBA typically starts with security hardening (least-privilege access, encryption and audit logging) and adds performance tuning as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on onboarding completion rate and time to approve an application.
Database Management & Remote DBA for Gaming
Gaming businesses in Armenia usually need scalable game backends, player wallets, live-ops tooling and anti-fraud controls. For them, our database management & remote DBA typically starts with 24/7 monitoring (alerts on disk, locks, replication lag and slow queries) and adds backup & recovery as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on daily active players and retention day 7.

Consider a it services company in Gyumri (technology centre and education). A typical database management & remote DBA engagement would start with upgrades & migration, then security hardening, and finish the first release with 24/7 monitoring — usually within 1 week.
Payments would run through Mobile wallets, data would be handled under Law on Protection of Personal Data, and success would be measured on release frequency, customer churn and time to onboard a customer.
Example: database management & remote DBA for a it services business in Yerevan
Consider a it services company in Yerevan (it companies, fintech and startups). A typical database management & remote DBA engagement would start with performance tuning, then backup & recovery, and finish the first release with high availability — usually within 2–4 weeks.
