Our consulting engagements are solution-based and priced according to your specific project needs. We provide a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work, a clear solution plan, and the total cost upfront. While many projects are short-term, we also support longer-term consulting engagements based on the complexity and duration of the work — always with full transparency and no hidden charges.
Our FinOps for Databases consulting delivers significant cost reductions for MongoDB. We analyze your infrastructure and workload to identify over-provisioning, optimize costs by right-sizing your Atlas cluster tiers or self-hosted VMs, improving indexing and schema patterns to reduce IOPS, and tuning queries to lower CPU load.
Our consulting process is built for live, business-critical applications. We begin with a non-disruptive assessment of your MongoDB topology. All critical implementation work, such as major MongoDB version upgrades or migrations to MongoDB Atlas, is meticulously planned and scheduled during your specific off-hours to ensure zero business disruption.
You get direct, 24/7/365 access to a real MongoDB DBA — not a bot or passive ticket queue. When a critical issue strikes, our on-call expert is instantly alerted and jumps into active resolution. It’s hands-on, expert-led support built for mission-critical environments.
Our FinOps for Databases approach is built into our support model, delivering significant cost reductions.
