Period 2022 – Present

Scale Multi-year engagement · MySQL + PostgreSQL · Patroni HA · Regulated finance

Regulated financial institutions do not hand database infrastructure to outside consultants casually — and they do not keep them for years unless the work holds up. This ongoing engagement has progressed from an initial MySQL cluster build through PostgreSQL platform engineering and enterprise-Postgres migration planning with Patroni-based HA design.

The full write-up will cover:

High-availability PostgreSQL design with Patroni in a regulated-finance environment
Logical-replication migration strategy and per-application cutover runbooks
What NCUA-regulated infrastructure work actually requires of architecture decisions
Building a multi-year consulting relationship: repeat engagements as the real performance review
