PalominoDB

PalominoDB is a boutique open-source database services company specializing in remote operations and consulting for MySQL and Cassandra.

PalominoDB was founded in 2006 by CEO and DataBase expert, industry leader Laine Campbell. PalominoDB knows that inception and growth periods are when database expertise is absolutely crucial. There are core areas that can cost tremendous amounts of rework and money if not managed as early as possible. Palomino’s experts know that time and money are rare resources in a startup environment and can focus on the core components required for scale, flexibility and performance as companies grow. You don’t want to pay the salary of a full-time DBA if you can avoid it and you don’t have to! Having been through these growth phases numerous times, Palomino can walk you through them at a fraction of the cost you might expect. There are two types of DBA work. First is the day to day work of building, monitoring, backing up and maintaining your database infrastructure. These are core tasks that an outsourcer can provide well. They leverage benefits of scale, well-tested and honed processes and collective years of experience. The second is the marriage of application and database – the logical and physical modeling of your data, scaling based on your data and access patterns, SQL and server tuning and long-term growth and availability planning. To do this well, you need a long-term partner who knows your business, your architecture and your strategy, and who has the time to focus on them.
